I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary

The day after the manga meat party. We were visiting the asteroid belt again. I was able to save enough money and move on to another star system. However, the number of "flows" is increasing, and it may be better to earn another. That is because the will of all three, including me, was united in that direction.

"Weird" "Weird" "Is it strange?"

Elma muttering with a serious expression and me who agrees. And Mimi leans her head after seeing us. Even today, we came here to hunt for a delicious and tasty "flow", but we found strangers who ambushed the "flow". Three small boats. They are sneaking around the asteroid belt to hide behind strangely controlled movements. It's obviously not a mining movement, but it feels like a pirates has too much control over the movement. In the first place, it's not a search for prey. That is a move avoiding contact with other ships.

"What do you think?"

Mimi doesn't seem to know, but I know those who do this. Probably a reconnaissance unit or an engineering unit of the Commonwealth Berebelem. I don't know what I'm doing here, but I guess it's almost like trying to set up a small radar to keep track of the movement of the Graccan Empire-the star system.

"I've come, I'll find it if I move." "Yes, I'll find it." "I guess what will happen." "Isn't it coming to erase?" "That's okay. "Well, they're extremely dangerous. Maybe it's Berebelem Federal Army."

Mimi looks at the radar reaction with a surprised face. Mimi wouldn't make sense with just the three spots on the radar.

"Ah" "I found this"

The movement of the unknown ship reflected on the radar has changed. Apparently coordination has begun to hunt this down. It's a covert operation, so the witnesses are going to erase it or something like that. Well, shouldn't the generator power be cut to a minimum and the emergency cooler be used to go into thermal stealth?

"I can't help doing it," "Isn't it bad bad luck?" "I don't want to be told by Elma." "Ugu ... but if you're bad bad, Mimi is a big deal too." Is it me? "

Elma loses words to my counterattack, causing Mimi to sprout like a demon. Fortunately, Elma, who had a big accident and had to pay a huge debt, was saved by me and I think she was absolutely bad luck. No, I may be overwhelmed by getting lost in this world. If you think so, Mimi who fell into the third block due to her parent's debt and met me is also quite good?

"Let's stop this topic. Everyone is likely to get hurt." "That's right." "That's right." "The generator output is going to intercept. Mimi asks the affiliation of the opponent."

He jumps out of the shadow of a hidden asteroid and begins to move out of the siege of a ship of unknown affiliation.

"This is a mercenary guild, silver rank mercenary captain Hiro. Call sign, Krishna. I'm Mimi, the operator.

Mimi opens the communication line and calls, but there is no response. After confirming that there is no response, Mimi asks again, but again no response is returned. He doesn't seem to talk beyond. Oh yeah, it doesn't matter, but three days ago my mercenary rank went up from bronze to silver. The uncle at the reception says that I can't keep my bronze rank forever because I'm only active and hunting "flows" constantly. It doesn't mean that the silver rank has changed. Social trust may have risen a bit.

"Unknown affiliation, armed deployment" "As expected. Respond, armed deployment" "Ok, armed deployment. As usual, I will adjust the chaff and flare control and generator output here." ! "

Make a sharp turn and sew between the asteroids and rush into the nearest unknown ship.

"I'm still having a crazy maneuver ..." "I'm used to it."

Elma makes her face cramped by an asteroid approaching her, and Mimi smiles. Not crazy, it's normal. This is because it bites the enemy's side. I slipped on the surface of the asteroid and jumped out of the shadow, just before the flank of an unknown ship I saw. Don Pisha.

"It's stupid! ? 』「 People 」

Countless bullets fired from two large shotguns breach the flank of the federal small battleship Swordfish with a shield, and tear the hull to shreds.

"The power is still strange, this shard cannon" "It's wonderful" "It's almost like you using such a pervert weapon ..." "Although it's strong"

Certainly, shotguns have a short effective range, but are small weapons that can tear the hull together with the shield into shreds? If you remove the shield, the damage will pass to the large ship opponent.

"The second machine" is not a silver arm. Be careful. Fight at a distance "" I think so when you see a shard cannon ... "

The other two, who disliked close combat, escaped from the asteroid belt and turned their bows here. Hoho, is it a thermal game from the front? To this Krishna opponent? Interesting, accept. I hid the aircraft on a handy asteroid and started firing heavy laser cannons with only four armed arms out of the asteroid's shadow.

"Now! ? Arms from the ship! ? "This laser has a high output ...! No, no! Do not keep! 』

The Fed warships also respond with laser cannons while evading, but the opponent's laser does not reach here that hides most of the aircraft behind the asteroid, and on the contrary this heavy laser cannon will surely catch the enemy aircraft Continue to capture. That's literally an attack flying at the speed of light, so it can't be avoided so easily. Of course, it doesn't go as far as the evasion maneuver is taking place, but 80% is still true. And if it hits 80%, Krishna's heavy laser cannon has enough power.

"Che! There is too much thermal difference! "Evacuate! 』

Two federal ships try to escape, but it is troublesome to escape here. Inject thrusters to jump out of the shadow of an asteroid and pursue them.

"Seeker! Fox 1! Fox 1! "Flare" "Okay"

Two federal ships launch a heat source guided missile while retreating, but Elma who received my instructions activates a deceptive device, is guided by a fake heat source that is launched, and flies in the direction of the day after tomorrow .

"Shit! 』

And I will relentlessly fire heavy laser cannons on a federal ship. The blue striations fired one after another landed on the retreating Federal Ship with full power, and the pale shield flickered several times and flew off. That's it. Military-grade armor material survived several rounds of heavy laser cannon fire, but soon glowed and melted, losing strength and ending its use.

"I can't escape-wow! ? 』

Two federal ships are blasted by heavy lasers and explode. The inability to escape is that the military-grade frame was distorted by halfway withstanding the laser? Sometimes it's rugged.

"Well ... recover the black box and data cache and go back?" "Is it going back?" "Yes, I think the Star Army will buy it higher" "I see" "If you sell data, leave it to me. There's an esoteric soldier in the Star Army. "" Hey, sir. I'm not going to have any trouble. "" Haha, it's natural. I'm going to sell something and go home. "

"What do you say?" "I'm sorry" "Hiro ..." "Sorry"

Two hours later, I was sitting on the floor in Krishna's dining room. No, the purpose has been reached, the purpose. Having left Krishna's maintenance and replenishment to Mimi and Elma, I went on foot to the Star System Headquarters and managed to make an appointment with Captain Serena. Captain Selena immediately appeared, just in vacancy, and in a guided room, I explained what had happened, handed over the black box and data cache recovered from the Federation ship, and was rewarded. Is it perfect? But if I realized that, I, Krishna, and the crew would have decided to join the Imperial forces in a conflict between the Empire and the Fed that would soon break out. In addition, the situation has been officially accepted as a request after firmly talking to the mercenary guild. You don't know what happened? I don't know what happened. It wasn't such a thing, because Captain Serena was fanning me. e? Federation ship? I'm not scared. Whether to participate is a bit. e? Is the Imperial Army seeking the participation of excellent and brave mercenaries? No, I'm like that ... I'm shy, hahahaha. Well, if you say that… yeah, yes. e? No, that's what it means ... I can't do that ...? So, if you can!

"That's how it feels" "It's not completely loaded" "Hiro ..." "I'm sorry"

The glance pointed at by both of them hurt. Since there is really no excuse for me, I bow down my head and brilliantly touch the prostrate.

"Well, it's good. The captain is yours, and it's no wonder you've got a job at your own discretion." "Yes, because Hiro is the captain of this ship." I guess it's okay if you get a bonus or something, you won't get a bee. "" Bonus ...? I'm still getting too much. " If you can get it, you should not hesitate to give it to me, the captain, it will show me that much value. "" I would like to think very positively. " … "

Mimi doesn't seem convinced yet, but I also think it's bad, so I'll try to think about it. Would you forgive me with good sake or food? Find something in Oishiimart's online shop. It's fine with gold though.

"Well then, wait until things happen?" "Yes. He told me to refrain from sorties." "Is there a detention fee?" "I negotiated it properly. "It's 50,000 per day." "It's amazing that 50,000 energy is just waiting ..." "I think it's reasonable, but I"

It has been a bit cheaper for us, who have earned on average over 200,000 energy over the past week. However, 50,000 energies a day may be quite delicious just waiting to be able to sortie without risking life.

Anyway, we had to wait at the request of the Star Army-the Imperial Army.

"It seems that you should not drink alcohol."

Only Elma, who was banned from drinking, lamented, but that would be all right. There's no point in having you stand by so that you can always respond to the sortie, but you can't sortie because you're drinking.

"Even if you don't drink, it's 150 Enel a day, Elma." "... Yes," "In other words, every 150 days of patience earns a drink worth 150 Enel." ... Yeah! "

The long ears of the cosmic elf, which Mimi advised, stood in a pinch, and the tension, which had fallen dada, recovered at once. Well, if you consider it as a savings of 150,000 yen a day in Japanese yen conversion, it may certainly improve prohibition. Try drinking it.

"Mimi is smart" "Ehe"

Mimi may have something like an innate talent to make others happy ... no, surely. I'm fine just by being with Mimi.

"Well, do you prepare?" "Preparation?"

Elma looks suspicious at me when she stands up. That's that, I don't think it's going to do anything wrong. That's right.

"Yeah, ready. I'm going to the cargo a little ... Oh, Mimi, where did you put the duct tape you bought last time?" "It's that military grade? It should have been in the toolbox, but "Okay, thank you."

You can stick it on it and roll it from above. Just drop from the lower weapon bay when firing. After that, I have to take them out of the hidden cargo. Oh busy busy.
