We had a tough time getting to the Refill system yesterday, but the morning of the second day of our stay - the Refill Prime Colony reference time - was a very peaceful slide.

"Ofuuuuuuuuuuu..."

"Yeah, good morning."

Get out of bed with Mimi, wash your face with Mimi, dress lightly, and head to the Black Lotus cafeteria with Mimi.So Elma and the mechanic sisters who were in the cafeteria, and Mae and I had a morning greeting, and after we finished eating, everyone but Mae went to the Black Lotus training room and said, "Gently move your body, and when it's over, gently sweat and dissolve."

"And today, me, Mimi and Elma are free."

"Yes, I sold the shipment yesterday."

"I also submitted a planetary descent request yesterday.The rest is waiting for the bureau to process. "

"We're going to start today."

This time it's easy to work on.

Tina and Whiska seem to be working on refurbishing a large Starfleet bandit that was captured yesterday using the components ordered and output by the replicator.Not only maintenance bots, but also combat bots that have been disarmed and converted into general-purpose work applications are scheduled to be put into service with penetration.

We acquired software for maintenance bots made of Eagle Dynamics, which is the manufacturer of all combat bots, incorporated it as a combat bot subroutine, and added maintenance bot mode to the combat bot.

"If something goes wrong with the fighter bot when it's time to go, it'll kill me, so seriously, I'm asking you to do something around here."

"It's okay, it's okay. from bots made by the same manufacturer to bots compatible with each other."

"It's okay because I'm running it as a completely independent subroutine."

If they say so, there is no other way to be convinced.Well, Mei is chewing on one of the fighter bots, so if there's a problem, Mei will be out of control.If it is judged that not only the two of us but also May are okay, is that OK?

"How are you guys doing today?

"I see... I'll show my face to the Mercenary Alliance first, then to the system army lockup for yesterday's reward, or else I'll hang around the city.If you see a drink that you don't see much elsewhere, I'll buy it as a souvenir. "

"Wow, is that okay?Because it is the home system of elves, I thought there must be a lot of delicious alcohol. "

"The direction is a little different from ours, but the elves are drinking too."

"Sure."

"What is it?

He nodded at the mechanic's sister's words and looked at Elma, staring at her from a close range.It sounds a little angry, but the angle of the ear is not angry.This is pretending.

"What about May?

"I'll stay on the ship and clean up the chores."

Okay, I'll take care of Black Lotus.

Yes, I'll handle it.

That's why the three of us, Mimi and Elma, are going into the city.



I was supposed to assemble and leave when I had each prepared, but my own preparation would be finished soon.Just go back to your room and put the laser gun and two pairs of swords on your hips, and that's it.Wait in the break room and join Mimi and Elma, who showed up together, before they leave.

"It's just the home system of elves, and they're still more prominent than any other colony."

"That's right. Compared to colonies in other systems, it looks like a lot of them."

Colonies in other systems seem to have one or two people in the clutter, but there are obviously a lot of elves in this colony.I don't know the exact ratio, but perhaps more than 10% of the people on the road seem to be elves.

"But what, don't get a strange look at me?"

Well, that stands out.

That's right.

That's what Elma and Mimi are looking at me for.

Hmm? Well, Mimi and Elma are beautiful, and I'm pretty prominent walking with them.

"You look like you're thinking of something wrong.It's you who stands out.A mercenary with a sword on his waist must stand out, right?

"Also, Hiro-sama's face is sold for sale in the game before you.That match was broadcast throughout the Empire, right?

"Ah, I see... then, when am I going to be a celebrity?"

"Celebrities, hey... I don't think that's enough of an easy expression."

"Hiro is the hottest mercenary I've ever had."

"Hmm....?

Even if they say that, they don't come at all.I'm just a little rich and violent... I don't know what it means to be a little rich and violent.

"Soon, I realized I was a legendary being."

"Otherwise, all of a sudden, the general of the system army won't treat you like you're not even down there... you're really out of your mind."

Looks like Hiro.

"Is that a compliment?

It is enough to move around with attention while talking to others.We arrived at the Mercenary Guild without any particular trouble.The Mercenary Alliance in the Rifil system does not have any particular features and seems irreplaceable.How many potted plants do you think there are?The atmosphere itself is no different from the Mercenary Alliance that visited the colonies in other systems.

"Nothing has changed."

Yes, it is.

"Let's go to the counter."

Mimi prompted me to go to the counter.The young woman we were waiting for at the counter was making her look so sad as we went.

"Ah... hey, I'm sorry to be so scared."

"Ah, uhh... I'm sorry!?

Her hand, stretching out from behind her, grabbed her shoulders and surprised at the feeling, she stiffened her body.I'm sorry to see you crying at the edge of your eyes.

"You can take a break.I'll take it from here. "

"Ha, hahi....."

A young receptionist nodding like a crunchy, broken robot leaves the counter, and an elf man, the Lord of hands, who had been placed on his shoulders in exchange for her, stands in front of us.

"Welcome to Refill Prime.Welcome, Captain Hiro. "

Well, thank you. I'm sorry I scared you. "

"No, no, don't worry.She is a newcomer who hasn't started yet and is still a little hungry.Instead, it is here to apologize.I'm sorry. "

That said, the elf man shook his neck sideways with a bitter smile, and then lowered his head slightly.

"So, what's today?Because you're willing to accept any requests?

"No, I'm staying at Rifil Prime for a while, so that's the greeting.You know, it's easier for us to get in touch with each other in advance, right?

"That's right.It would be very helpful if we could get to know you as much as possible. "

"Hmm? What kind of rating did you get?

"Does the hottest platinum runner look like a 'good balls' to you?

I see.

Good jade, good jade. I didn't know you had such a reputation.Well, if you look at my track record so far, is that what it looks like?I didn't do much risky work.

"Good balls, hey...?

Elma looked at Jito as she said so.Hahaha, I don't know. It illuminates when you see it with such eyes.Look, Mimi doesn't look delicate either.I'm a good, clean mercenary.

"My job is perfect, I have superior strength as a fighter ship, and my skills are the best.We have a good relationship with the Imperial Space Force, along with hunting space bandits around.If you don't show any interest in the dark work behind you, and if you don't see any signs of connections with the Space Bandits, it's a good thing for our Mercenary Alliance.I didn't even get caught up in the problem with the snails. "

"Well... yes.Hiro doesn't really look like a mercenary in that sense.You don't feel outlaw, do you, Hiro? "

"I believe in integrity."

To put it simply, it is a policy of good conduct and, to put it badly, of being wrapped around long things.

I've spent a lot of time in this world, so I know what a typical mercenary is and what kind of thoughts I often act on.However, I don't fit the style that other mercenaries predominate in.

Violent! Sex!Ha ha! It's kind of like that.No, I don't hate the third one either, but I'm glad you're on time.Besides, I'm not aiming for an anarchic lifestyle with rocks.It's not like there's nothing to be ascending about at all, but I caught on to it while I was caught in a lot of trouble.

"You don't have to worry about me.It's more of a policy to operate in the Rifil system. "

"Yes"

"I came to the Rifil system on a tour of the mountains.I've heard an interesting story from the crew, and I plan to submit a descent application and get off to Refill IV.Enjoy your trip and vacation with Refill IV. "

"I see, Refill IV is rich in nature.Do you want me to rest? "

"That's how it is."

Actually, I'm just looking for a drink that's equivalent to Coke, even though it's touristy.

"Does that mean you don't do much as a mercenary?"

"Look around the colony until the descent application passes, and if we still have time to spare, we may not be targeting space bandits as much as petty cash.If we leave this system at the right time, we may be asked to transport or escort them. "

"Really, that's a shame.Well, I've already had one big yama cleaned up, so that's enough. "

"Big Yama....?Oh, that ship.It's a coincidence, but my nosy fellow was riding. "

He nods deeply at my words and opens his mouth.

"Yes, they specialize in the slave trade for elves.I've been looking for a location for a while, and I've finally been able to locate and raid Ajito, but that ship has been able to escape due to the fighting.They caught it well.The damage done to the raid when you rescued the naughty one was kidnapped was terrible.The chiefs were so furious that they might die of a blood vessel cut. "

"I see... uh, how many of them were captured alive?"

"Looks like you've done a lot of that.Aren't you trembling right now?

It's karma.

When I heard his story, Mimi reacted unusual and dry.Mimi saw an image of the room where the prisoner was captured.You don't even feel sympathetic for the boulder.

"If you are concerned, please take this file.This is the latest version of the report with the story of this incident. "

"Are you sure? I thought it was a leak of inside information.

"It's almost the same content as it goes to the media, so there's no problem.Just a little more detail. "

"I see, I'll let you through later.By the way, have you heard from anyone about the rewards or the bounty?

"I'll look into it.Hmm... not yet.I think it will take time for the system forces, the Imperial Space Forces, and the Alliance of Chiefs to rub together, so perhaps sooner rather than later... "

An elf male employee manipulates the holo display on the counter to check the contents and shakes his neck to the side before saying so.It seems quite unique that it takes so much time to get a reward.I am also worried about unfamiliar words such as the Union of Chiefs.

"I think it will take a little time to discuss where and how much to get out of the wallet.The system army wallet is thin and the Empire Space Army wallet string is solid.Besides, chiefs don't get along well with each other. "

"Hmm? That's kind of a hassle."

"Compared to other systems, the dominance of the home planet is strong, and the Rifil system is.Please wait patiently.The chiefs struggle, but not in small quantities.I think it will take some time to try and exploit as much as possible from the system forces and the Imperial Space Force that have missed that ship and get the bounty on board.In fact, the chiefs seem to be thanking Captain Hiro.Survival is desperate when taken aboard a Starship.It's not normal to take the risk of taking control of a ship. "

It was a whim.

"Grasping the optimal solution at random is also a kind of talent.I knew platinum runners were something called "I have them."

"Stop talking about it, it'll work for us."

While saying that, they were both laughing bitterly as expected as they gazed at Elma and Mimi.Naturally, I must have had the same look on my face.It is we who best understand that we 'have something'.
