"Kemono," "Oh, leave it to me," "I won't praise you!"

Elma sits down and gets angry. This is dining again. Next to me is Mimi hugging my arm with a smile.

"That's me ... yesterday! What kind of nerves have you been doing with Mimi since morning?" "I think you need equality?"

Elma's tongue fluctuates in return for me. Perhaps I had considered the meaning of "equality".

"All the friends on the same ship, get along. That's okay." "Oh, you'll be fine." "Elma doesn't like Mimi?" "Now! There's no such thing." "Isn't it okay then Elma got on this ship after knowing that Mimi and I were that kind of relationship? It would be strange to make that matter even more problematic right now." "But ..." "Everyone is good. Everyone is happy. That's good." "... I feel like I'm curled up." "Sonako Tonayo"

Smile with a smile. If Mimi and I were OK, Elma would have to follow. After all there are only three people.

"Let's just leave that story out of the way." "That's for now ... well, it's okay. There's no way to say it anymore. So what?" "Yeah, I want to decide on an action guide from today. "I don't think it's like a serious story." "Nice. First of all, we have to make money as soon as possible. There is still some savings, but if the ship is wrecked halfway, only a fairly dangerous amount remains. I don't think it is "" It's ... "

Elma says something and goes silent. Yeah, well, that's the result of rebuilding Elma's reparations. It goes without saying.

"Oh, there are two options. One is to move away from this star system and search for a profit." "Is this star system useless?" I think it's an ant to move to another star system. "

Elma nodded to agree with my opinion.

"Recent tensions between the Empire and the Commonwealth have put this bordering system at risk of becoming a conflict space. I think it's enough ants to move quickly if you're safe." Another option is to stay in the system and hunt for pirates in the asteroid belt while waiting for a conflict, which will spur demand for mercenaries. The danger is great because you will be fighting your opponent, but the reward is also great. "" It is also a point that the current pirate will be active at this time. The large-scale pirate was defeated It's a good time for the pirates of the tide, because the security of the Star Army is loose, because they are often hard to find and well equipped, and tend to have higher prizes. There are also options Lee risk I it comes to high-return, "" I see ...... How do you do? "" Do I think we'll talk it over it. Mimi What do you think? "

Mimi worried about my question, and opened her mouth.

"I think it's better to stay in this system and hunt the pirates." "Why, why?" "If Hiro's arm and Krishna's fighting power are enough, the pirates who are well-equipped are likely to be opponents. No, you can escape if you have a dispute, right? "" Yes, it doesn't mean you have to participate because a dispute arises. "

Nodded at Mimi's words. Certainly, just as Mimi says, the dispute between the Empire and the Commonwealth does not mean that you have to participate in the conflict. Rather, at that time, the pirates leapfrog around and attack civilian and military transports. You have the option to go around removing them, or you can finally roll your ass and escape.

"I'd like to stay in this system too. If you're capable of participating in conflicts, you'll be active, and pirates will be fine." "What, Elma?" "Yes, me too." "

Elma nodded easily. I'm a little glad that a veteran girlfriend appreciates my skills.

"Well, that's the rule." "What about Hiro-sama?" "I'm in a slightly different perspective. I want to earn at least a little more money in the other system. Yes, I don't know what will happen to long-haul navigation, and I haven't decided on the next destination. "" I see. By the way, how much is it now? "" Roughly 500,000 ". Let's make money "

Mima and I nodded at Elma's words, and preparations for departure began.

☆ ★ ☆

We left in the Turmaine system and took money, so we started moving immediately. The work itself is simple. Tour the resource-rich asteroid belt, find pirates targeting mining vessels, hunt down, and hunt. Fly around the enemy as soon as you find it, hit the mining boat, drop the generator output, ambush, and crush the pirates who came to work.

Earnings are going very well. He is able to constantly hunt an average of around 10 pirates a day. The pirate ships can get cargo, and the prize that depends on the "flow" is at least 10 energies, and as many as 30 energies Today, I was able to hunt them after the "Work" to get refined rare metals. In addition, the equipment that had been stripped off from the pirates and the small spoils were combined, and we earned 1,780,000 energy in a week.

Mimi's share was decided to be 0.5% and Elma's share was 3%, so Mimi's share was 1,290 Enel and Elma's share, including the gain on the sale of looted goods from large-scale defeat. It became 5340 Enel. With this, my money is about 220,000 energy, and I am completely out of danger zone.

"I still make a lot of money today! Kanpei!"

Sorry, the space elf laughs, raises a cup filled with sake, and drinks the contents at once. It's a shame that the subtle moving throat looks fascinating each time you swallow. By the way, the type of sake was ale. Elma and the clerk insist on beer, but I think a beer that doesn't shuffle is ale.

"Oh, yes, toast."

On the other hand, the contents of my cup are cold tea. Can't drink? You can drink. However, as soon as you drink, you will be drunk by Bellonberon and fall down! Yes, I am Shimoto.

"Isn't surprisingly that Hiro can't drink alcohol?" "Essential, he's constitutional. Drinking alcohol isn't an adult anymore."

Elma, sitting in the seat next to me, spins her hand on my shoulder and drops. This sorry cosmic elf is a troublesome type of liquor. The tension is higher than usual. As you can see, the number of skinships has increased. How physically involved.

"Elma seems to have a lot of fun drinking alcohol." "It's fun, isn't it cool and warm!" "No!" "... Yes"

A nail is attached to Mimi who keeps staring at the sake bottle. Investigations have shown that there is no particular age limit for drinking in this world or galaxy, but it seems that drinking from a young age is not good. Drinking early because Mimi is still a child-if Mimi was a child, I would go to that Mimi and be a kind of devil? No, it's safe because there was mutual consent. I also looked into that area, but I was supposed to be safe if I was over 15 years old and had mutual consent. All right, safe.

"But you're good at it. Needless to say, this ship is powerful, but it's" usable "and good at ambush and surprise." "It seems like you can remember your body. Then my head turns and my body moves. "" Hmm ... hey, are you hiding something from us? "" Kakushitenaiyo "

He returns with a stick reading to Elma, who is staring at Girori at a close distance. There's some hiding, but I don't think it's a good idea to talk about it right now. For example, I'm probably in a different world-in this case, should I say the real world? ――The fact that you came from, that the loss of memory is a lie, or that you know this world as a “game”. I think I'm getting better than usual with Mimi and Elma, but if I confess this now, I'll just think, "Don't say weird things."

"Well, it's good. There's something I can't even say. Mimi" "I'm not there anymore?" "Oh? Really? For example, recently, Taiju" "Wow! Wow! No! No use! "

Suddenly, Mimi suddenly rushes and Elma laughs with bling. Overlap ぇ ... In the case of Mimi, isn't he having meat on his chest instead of his stomach? That chest armor is super-dreadnought ... though the body is destroyer-class.

"Mimi" "Hi?" "Believe in the trainer. I can't absolutely lose weight." "Yes ..."

I was ashamed of what I was supposed to see, and Mimi covered her red face with her hands. On the contrary, I think Mimi can have more meat. Alright, let's tweak the settings of the AI trainer in the training room. Fufufu.

"Oh yes, what's tomorrow?" "Tomorrow?" "Yeah, tomorrow. What's tomorrow, why don't you take a break and go shopping with everyone? For a break?"

Mimi leans her neck to the word breath.

"Ah. Will you be tired of hunting pirates all the time without earning money or spending time to use it? Eat and drink something delicious, buy things around you, buy clothes and accessories, and use it. Isn't there a lot? "" Simply you just want to take a break? "

He nodded obediently to the teasing Elma's words.

"Of course, that's the case. You might make mistakes if you don't refresh moderately. More than anything else, you want Mimi to spend the money she earns on her life. "Oh, yeah. Yes, that kind of experience is important."

Elma turns around and nods with a serious expression. Although his face was slightly red because of the sake, he did not seem to be completely drunk.

"Um, I ..."

Mimi had a rather troubled face. That's right. The total amount of rewards I have given to Mimi so far is 1685 Enel. If one energy is calculated as 100 yen, it is 168.55 yen. At the age of Mimi, "This is the money you've earned" and you'll be confused if you give him 160,000 yen.

"I was just sitting in the operator's seat ... and that big buck wasn't it." "Surely Mimi is still hard to say as an operator, but still lives equally on the same boat. That reward is a legitimate reward. "" That's right. I don't need to be shy. I don't need to worry about taking care of this guy. "" No, I don't ... "I don't say I hate it!" "I don't hate it!"

Elma and Mimi repeat the words as if to cover my words. Mimi looks straight at my face with a red face. Elma said she was ashamed to say that her long ears were bright red as she turned her face up.

"Hiro, I like Hiro. I really, sincerely, love you. Hiro is all of me. Hiro can give me all."

Mimi leans out of the table and confesses with a bright red face. I wonder how such a passionate confession would not be seen in a movie or novel. I guess he's better than that ... I guess I'm drinking and drinking and falling down and dreaming?

"Wow, I'm ... not that far, but did you help me? If you didn't help, would it be terrible nowadays? … Thank you… I do n’t think I ’m a little better, or I wo n’t forgive my body…

Whether she was inspired by Mimi's passionate confession, Elma also expresses her feelings about me. I thought both of us were somewhat obligatory, or a little overwhelmed to reward the help. Somehow, when I heard the words of them, they said that the shoulder load had fallen down, or that my chest had dropped.

"Cho, why are you crying?" "Hi, Hiro-sama?" "No, I'm sorry. I'm really happy to have them say that. "It's ridiculous. There's no woman who won't be overwhelmed by the prince who helped her in a desperate pinch."

Elma, sitting next to her, laughs and kisses my cheek. again and again.

"If you weren't there, I would be comforted in a prison these days. You saved me from such a situation because you are definitely my prince. You don't have to worry about strange things. It's worth it." "Well, me too! Hiro-sama! If I didn't get Hiro-sama to help me, I would have been terrible too! Hiro-sama is my hero!"

Mimi, who stood up around her seat, also hugged me. A little alcoholic smell ... maybe you drank alcohol wrong with juice?

"Mimi, let's tell the prince what we think of the prince." "I'll do my best!"

Two hands extend to me. I decided to accept their actions without any resistance.
