After a lot of shopping and returning to the boat, we decided to eat dinner a bit early. Elma had been in a mood for the last few days.
"Funny" "What's wrong with your mouth? Today's dinner is a special dinner using high-quality food cartridges and artificial meat." "That's not it! Why is this ...!"
Elma stands out from her seat with a rattling chair.
"Why is a mercenary ship so luxurious?"
Elma screams, pointing to the beautifully decorated interior of the dining room, which has just been replaced recently. I don't know why.
"I think it's important to improve the living environment. Delicious rice, beautiful rooms, clean and comfortable beds, and those things have a positive effect on the mentality of those who spend in that space." "I understand the theory, but ... "It's not like a luxury cruise ship!" "It's an effective use of the money I've earned. I did a really good shopping. "
Elma bends her mouth with a curvy shape, as if it's frustrating not to tell her what she wants to say.
"Elma" "What's up?" "Aside from us, we're home. We're like this. Get used to it."
The image of a mercenary inside me ... still manages to grumble, but Elma manages to avoid the noise and starts eating. I also carry Tetsujin's special dinner to my mouth and beat it. The food with a normal food cartridge was delicious, but using a high-end food cartridge doesn't make you feel different. Artificial meat steaks are also incomparably delicious compared to the last time they ate. Regarding artificial meat, it is exactly the same as when it was cooked in a normal automatic cooker before replacement, why is there a difference so much ...? Tetsujin's power is amazing.
"Isn't it delicious?" "... I think it's so delicious what I've been eating so far."
I and Mimi nodded deeply to Elma's words and agreed. Tetsujin is so amazing. To be honest, my tongue is likely to be fat and scary. For example, an exquisitely cooked steak, such as exquisite taste, grilling, and the flavor of spices that are savory, etc., all of which enhance the taste of artificial meat by two or three steps. It is felt in all dishes where such fine craftsmanship comes out. It's exactly the iron man's dish. We finish our meal with a talk of loneliness and then take a bath in turn.
"Mimi tells Elma how to use it. Why shouldn't we go in with two people?" "Yes, that's right." "How to use ... ??
Elma leans down, but agrees, so she leaves it to Mimi for the bath. Ah, the whole body automatic washing and massage feels good. It seems to consume a lot of hot water, but it uses very little water because it uses the same hot water by using advanced water purification technology. There is also the advantage that it is hard to run out of water even on long-term sailing. After the bath, she went to the dining room with a rough T-shirt and shorts, and Mimi and Elma talked in secret.
"Is it up?" "Poo !?" "Uo !?"
Elma, who was talking quietly, shook like a flipper and made a strange voice, so I was surprised. What's wrong with you? After making a voice like a sparrow or something.
"Haha, it was early !?" "No, it's normal ... okay? Is it okay? Something is wrong." "Oh, okay! No problem!"
Looking at Mimi, she returned an ambiguous smile. what? What's? The sense of incongruity grows bigger in me. Something fatal has happened. I do not feel like that.
"Hiro, I'm going to the bath with Elma" "Ah, yeah"
I forego them without noticing the discomfort. Hmm? Somehow like Elma is scared ...? Like Mimi's lonely face ...? I do not understand. I don't know even if I think about it. Don't forget to forget these times. Waste of brain resources. It's not abandonment. This is a step forward in decisive thinking. That's why I stopped thinking about Elma's suspicious behavior and decided to look into my room for actions after tomorrow. My wallet is very cold today, so I have to make money as soon as possible. Given that the ship was wrecked, I want to keep at least 100,000 energy.
"Hmm ..."
He groans involuntarily while looking at a request he has arranged in the mercenary guild. This isn't without a good job, but it's a deal for mercenaries with carriers. The work of transporting the products produced in this turmeric prime colony through a slightly dangerous space or star system to the next two or three adjacent star systems. 30,000 to 30,000 energy. If you carry it efficiently, it's Uhauha. But unfortunately, the amount of goods that can be carried in this Krishna is by no means large. Carrying a small amount of luggage for earning money when moving to some star system is enough for ants because it adds fuel costs and maintenance costs, but it is a little inefficient with the load of Krishna to mainly transport It is.
"Is it a prize hunter ..."
The pirates' bases that swept the star system were destroyed the other day, but the pirates are not monolithic. There are some “flowing” pirates who do not belong to such a large-scale pirates and work in small groups. And such pirates become active only after large-scale pirates have been defeated. This is because the security of the star troops will be loosened after a massive pirate defeat.
"The target is the asteroid belt."
In the asteroid belt where mining resources are abundant, private mining vessels and pirates targeting them appear. Tomorrow, I'm aiming for those pirate ships and earning prizes. If you decide so, it is a hunting point selection. They will not be approaching the rule system of the federal Berebelem, which is strictly guarded from peacetime. The same is true of the vicinity of the Turmaine Prime Colony, where the headquarters of the Star System is located. In the area where the pirates were located, the hull of the destroyed pirates was being recovered, and there is nowhere to go, as the star troops are guarding them.
"When it comes to this side, this side, this side ..."
They have determined the points at which they are likely to appear. Next, a private mining vessel determines the points at which mining is likely to go. There is no point in a space where pirates are likely to appear, if there is no mining boat that is the prey there. If you don't have it, even a pirates can dry up. To be honest, popular mining points or "points where resources can be dug well" are hidden by any private ship. That's right, it's our rice seed.
"Hmm, this is difficult"
Opening the map of the Turmaine system and gathering a lot of information, it seems too easy to identify useful mining points. I guess I have to do this in tomorrow after tomorrow. When I concluded, the door of my room opened suddenly.
“Hmm? What ’s wrong?
Elma opened the door and came in. Somehow strangely rough, she is wearing thin clothes. Or are you wearing your underwear properly? Arms crossed as if Elma redd her face and hid her chest, as if she saw my gaze.
"I'm here ..." "Eh?"
I haven't called it separately? Elma turned her face red and stared at me. No, I do not understand the meaning. Why did you come into the room and stare at me?
"That's why ..." "Hmm ...?"
Elma sighed and somehow passed me, sitting at the desk, and sat down in bed. The bed is large enough to sleep with Mimi. No, I don't think it's good to be in such a light clothes and put it in bed.
"Do it ..." "Yes?" "-So! I told you to like it!" "Why !?"
Involuntarily slams into Elma screaming while sitting on the bed.
"I didn't say I wanted it! So I took out 300,000 and made me a crew! That's what it is!" "Oh ..."
I recall my actions, Elma's reaction, and Mimi's lonely gaze. I see, that kind of thing. Sure, Elma told me I wanted you. I told you. But after that you mentioned Mimi's education and my support? Oh, maybe you got the word support like that? So that's it. If you think so, Elma's strange behavior and reaction will also make a point. And despite the misconception, Elma accepted it. Ummm. I look at Elma trembling on the bed again. Beautiful silver hair with a very well-defined appearance and crystal clear. The bulge of the breast that pushes up clothes like a thin dress is small, but not without. The whole is slender and slim, and the skin is white and fine. A beautiful woman with no complaints. It seems to be acting after misunderstanding it in a direction different from my intention, but what if I do not eat it. It would be rude to forcibly refrain from accepting it beyond.
"I understand. I'll do my best not to make you regret it."
I said that and gently stroked Elma's head, which looked like a frightened child, and gently pushed her delicate body down to bed.

"Kemonomono," "...", "Kikukku, Skewed," "Safe with your consent," "Uh ...", and Elma hit my chest. Hahaha, this guy. "I'm not hurt ..." "No. I was happy. It was the best."
First of all, I'm not a saint Kimiko. I'll go if I can.
"This mushroom ..." "I think that the rabbit who comes to eat the wolf from himself is bad ... it hurts, it hurts. Don't pick it up."
Elma with her cheeks inflated at her chest picks up sensitive areas. very painful.
"I'm sincere about teaching without being silenced?" "I think a sincere person will say before this happens." But, "Oh, say this. Bad mouth."
That's when Elma closed my lips with her lips.
"Pain" "Fun"
Don't bite your lips at the end of a kiss. Because it hurt soberly.
"I can't help doing it. I can't help but worry about it." "I'm happy, happy, and very satisfied."
With that said, I look at Elma. Then Elma turned her face red and looked away.
"... It wasn't bad. He was kind." "Good." "What's good."
This time he is picked up on his side. Has it hurt since a while ago?
"If you bully me too much, you will strike back." "I should try it." "I see."
It seems that it was the invitation of the second round that I had been playing a little bit from a while ago. Let's meet your expectations.

"good morning"
The next morning, she left her bed in bed, leaving her tired and asleep Elma, and returned to the dining room where Mimi arrived at the table. She didn't do anything, she seemed to be sitting.
“……” “……”
Silence is awkward. Mimi's expression is dark, too. Is this a thing? Is the disease recurring without throwing it away?
"Oh, that?"
She lifts her confused Mimi halfway from her seat and takes her to the bathroom she just came out of. Communication and skinship are important.
