I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary
# 025 Three people shopping Part 2
"Next was an import store?" "Yes! They seem to be dealing with various unusual ingredients!"
Mimi, whose goal is to taste the galactic gourmet, has a rough breath.
"If you eat, there will be no loss."
Elma arriving behind us is grinning. What is that smile? The answer to that question was immediately apparent.
"Hey ..." "Hi, baboon, Hiro-sama, oh, oh, that ..."
In the breeding cage where Mimi points with his trembling fingers, Something threw up in the breeding cage. What scary. Anyway, it's a yabike reacher, that's it.
"It's like high-quality ingredients. Why don't you try it?" "No, I will refrain from it." "By the way, this is a processed product."
Elma brings a vacuum-packed Fegu Shagger from somewhere. Do you eat this? Is it bad?
"It seems to be a military ration of a distant star system, this is eating it crunchy from the head." "Is it delicious? ...?" "Well? I do not know because I have not eaten. "
Elma shrugs her shoulders. I glanced at Mimi, but she was shaking her head with all her might. Well, this is definitely impossible for me.
"If you want to eat the galaxy, this is the beginning of this?" "Because we're a beginner, we have to start from a safe place." "That's right! Hiro-sama! The meat that looks good over there Is on sale! "" Oh! Let's see! "
With a grin, she escapes from Elma approaching one hand with a vacuum pack. No, this is not a getaway. It's just moving towards another goal. Yup.
"This is ... manga meat?"
It was a chunk of meat that covered a single bone, the manga flesh that was unmistakable.
"Um ... Approximately 3kg, energies of 76 kg. Cooked and covered as it is." "It looks like it has been smoked."
Manga meat of ¥ 760 per bottle ... high! High, but cannot resist this temptation! What meat is it? I don't care about such a trivial thing. I can imagine it. It's a world of artificial meat.
"I'll buy this for my salary." "No, everyone eats it and I." "No, I want to use this for my starting salary. Let's eat it."
Mimi turns her glittering eyes. Ummm, if you say so, can you just accept the words?
"I see. It's a feast." "Yes! Please leave it!"
Mimi who puts vacuum-packed manga meat into a shopping basket makes her breath. When she turned her gaze to Elma, she seemed to be putting something in her shopping basket. It's almost like sake.
"Okay, I'll look for something!"
As expected, there is nothing dangerous in the store, so I separated from Mimi and wandered around the store looking for mysterious ingredients. A variety of foods, from edible worms that eat and dance to venerable Kobe beef ... Kobe beef! ? Kobe Beef Nande! ? There was no explanation of the origin, but Kobe beef seems to be distributed in all galaxies as the finest meat .. The price is from 100 Enel per 100 g. The price fluctuates depending on the part. Too expensive. You can buy it if you want, but you don't really want to buy it. Elma, passing by a shopping cart in one hand, looked suspiciously at the height of Kobe Beef.
"I don't make as much luxury as I can." "You're a 300g fillet steak and a pirate ship. That's something you can eat on a daily basis. You can't afford it." "No, luxury is the enemy! There must be something cheaper and more delicious in the universe! Artificial meat steaks are delicious enough!"
By the way, about 100g of artificial meat steak is about 5 energy. The price difference, 20 times. That's good, because I have a tongue that makes artificial meat delicious enough.
"Well, it's not good.
Elma leaves the meat store. I feel that Vacuum-packed Faye Hugger was in Elma's shopping basket right now. Let's not see it. Next is the drink corner. There are a lot of dubious juices that I don't understand well ... Coke, is there no Coke ...?
"this is……!?"
A dark liquid in a bottle. The label is "Coke". no doubt! This is my favorite cola! The end of my journey was here! I grabbed the bottle and dashed at the cash register. I feel that the clerk is scared, but pay the price without worrying and go out of the shop immediately and open the bottle seal. The flavor that floats gently is familiar. I tilted the bottle with hope.
"... Yeah, I thought it was like this."
The sweetness and sourness felt in the tongue and the scent flowing through the nose were exactly the cola itself, but this cola had no refreshing feeling. This is a cola without carbonation. Hey, he's dying. However, it is a precious cola taste. The exhilaration is nothing but a cola. After drinking the bottle, I returned to the store and told the clerk.
"How many do you have in stock for this drink?" "Em, um ... there are seven bottles in the store and seven cases in the backyard."
The point of the clerk who looked at what seemed to be a terminal for inventory management would be a point.
"It's all" "Hiyorokonde!"
Make payment and send it to the ship. Huh, this is fine. It's hard to say that it's ideal, but the taste isn't bad. It can be used as a substitute until then, when you drink real cola someday ... I mean, should we add carbonic acid to this? I thought so and operated the information terminal near the entrance of the store to check for such goods, but it seemed that there was no such thing. Why is there no soda machine with such advanced technology ... This world is distorted. I have to correct it ...
"Hi, Hiro-sama?" "I have some dangerous eyes ..." "Don't bother me, just a little upset."
It is not interesting to achieve the goal suddenly. Now, let's enjoy this bitterness, bitter reality ... fufufu. After shopping, we returned to the ship and decided to taste their loot. The manga flesh was ... the ideal manga flesh. Certain satisfaction, strong flavor, moderate bite ... but each one was too much. Because even if the bone is subtracted, the meat is more than 2kg? I really can't eat it. I guess it would be better to cut one with a knife and share it with everyone. There's no romance about not sticking to the manga meat. And Elma had also bought the vacuum pack of Fe * Shugar. I thought you were Usso, but I tried it out with courage and it was unexpectedly cool. The edible outer shell is soft against appearance and has a texture similar to a kamaboko, and the contents that overflow when it is bitten are creamy and slightly sweet. If this is analogous, it is creamy kamaboko that is not creamy croquette.
"Unexpectedly cool" "It just looks bad, this is it"
It was striking to see Mimi eating Morimori and Hui Ishagar and seeing Elma incredible. My cola? Did you give them two drinks?
"Isn't it medicinal? I don't like it much." "It's sweet ..."
Elma declares clearly not a preference. Mimi did not say clearly, but had a subtle look. Good, because I enjoy it alone. I'm going to give you a real cola with carbonic acid. Remember.
