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

Local cuisine in Refill IV was not a form of serving dishes sequentially like appetizers, soups, or Western course cuisine, but a style in which all dishes were arranged on the table from the beginning and eaten as individuals liked.

"It's gorgeous. It's kind of fun to just watch."

"Yeah, this is a big deal."

In front of me is something like a tempura of vegetables or wild vegetables, something like a steak of some kind of vegetable meat, something like a small pot that boils slowly.The ingredients are colorful, and Mimi is right. Just seeing the food lined up makes you feel happy.As far as I'm concerned, I think it's a bit of a luxury inn dish.

"This is going to be a banquet where Theta entertains guests.It is a more luxurious dish than a regular meal. "

I see. Certainly, if we were to prepare this every meal, we would have to hire at least three dedicated cooks. "

There are two kinds of baked goods and simmered goods in tempura, small pot dishes in soup, and sweets like perfume.Moreover, the vegetables used in the stew have been decorated, and the colors of this dish must have been thought through.This is a work of craftsmanship.

"Hiro-sama has a deep understanding of cooking...?

Tinia leaned her head very strangely.Living on a planetary settlement, she probably usually eats meals made from 'real' meat and vegetables, but most of the people living in space have eaten synthetic foods made from food cartridges since birth.As a result, most people in the universe have no knowledge of cooking or cooking at all.Nevertheless, it would have been surprising if I had given a relatively decent opinion on cooking.

"Hiro has the skills to cook properly from raw ingredients."

"That's right.Hiro-sama's food at that time was very delicious. "

"That's right... I like it too, but I'm learning to cook.I'd love to talk about each other's food if I had the chance. "

Tinia looks at me with a smile again.

"No, I don't want to be expected to do this craftsmanship because I'm a miscellaneous man cook..."

"I think it's rare to find out that this dish is hands-on cooking by craftsmen."

"I don't know. That's my brother."

Oniisan is very knowledgeable, right?

He started praising me, not just Tinia, but Tina and Whiska.What? What? A compliment killing?You can't praise me that much.

"Well, the crew of Hiro's ship is full of women."

"It happened... I was alone at first, but I decided to put Mimi on Krishna first, and soon afterwards Elma was welcomed as a crew.After a while, Mae joined in, and Tina and Whiska were sent from the ship manufacturer who built the mother ship when they purchased it. "

"I see... if you don't mind, how did you get on Hiro's ship?Very interested. "

Tinia's gaze turned towards Mimi.Mimi looked at Tinia and said, "What's going on?"and I nodded.

"I don't mind.I'll leave it to Mimi. "

"Um... well then..."

So Mimi started talking about herself, followed by Elma telling her how she got on the boat... and telling Tinia how we came along while we were eating.Is it unusual to hear stories from outside the planet, and it seems that all three are very interesting.

"I'm sorry we're just asking about you."

"No, it's worth talking to me about how I can make my eyes shine and listen to you with such interest.Huh? "

"Yeah, Hiro's just making a mess everywhere."

"It's bad to hear it's a mess.A little supplementary explanation, isn't it?

Tinia seemed to be staring at me and Elma like that when she was hanging out with them.

"... are you two married?

"Well, what do you say?"

If the conjugal contract means a physical relationship, then yes.However, it is a boulder that speaks of it in these places.

"No, in the sense of a paperwork relationship.It's just that my family recognized me.I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that you're engaged. "

"... I see, what about Mimi?

"Um, um, I...."

Mimi wandered her gaze from side to side.

Certainly, I felt like I had talked to Elma's family to some extent, but this is difficult when asked what Mimi is like.However, Mimi chose not to enter the Empire, but to live with me.I want to live with Mimi.

"Mimi and your husband are already married under the Imperial Civil Code."

"... eh!?

I think Mimi and I were almost at the same time.

What is that?We don't know?When I looked at Mimi, Mimi also looked at me.Mimi, did you know? Don't you know?Yeah, that's right.Otherwise, you wouldn't have spoken up at the same time as me.Where's Elma? Mr. Elma, you look like you know something.

"There's something confusing about you two."

"I didn't tell them."

"No, wait a minute.That's weird, all kinds of weird.So when the hell did that happen?I don't know. "

……

Mimi seems surprisingly hardened.Hey, you okay? If I poke it with my fingertips, it's going to fall sideways.

"... I've never heard of it before."

"... me too"

Tina and Whiska looked at each other like a prick.No, yeah, that's right.It's my first time hearing about it, right? I've never heard of it either.That's why it's troublesome for me to look at you like that.

"What the hell is this all about?

"I mean, it was a nobility measure."

"Um?

"After staying in the Imperial Capital, Mimi received the attention of the noble children due to a slightly unusual situation.Mimi is a civilian.Besides, I don't have any family.In some cases, aristocratic privileges may have forced me to assume that status. "

I see?

"So, by having a legal relationship with Hiro-sama in advance, we ruled out such a situation."

"Very well. But what does it mean that Mimi and I didn't understand that?

"Because I kept my mouth shut.And whether you know it or not, nothing changes, right?

"Why... no, I don't know, but come on."

Even if Mimi and I were legally married, I don't think we need to change our lives, and I don't think we should.Whether it's Elma or May, I want to stay together forever, and Mimi will be the same.As for Tina and Whiska...

……

……

The pressure on the two eyes was terrible.But I won't give in.Don't expect me to yield to pressure so easily.If I had succumbed to that pressure, I would have dealt with Lieutenant-Colonel Selena and Chris.I'm a no-no Japanese.

"Whatever you two are... it's not like that, but it's not like that right now."

For now, is that it?

"I don't know what's going to happen next.I would like to avoid using it lightly.It's just that I have something called conservation. "

Really?

Tinea smiles when she says so.The face clearly said, "Do you want me to put my hands on two women?It sounds like it says, but I want to say it out loud.I think I'm quite a patient man.I've chosen the right person to work with, even this.If I had been an honest man with no weight on my lower body, I would now have been either a soldier or a knight of the Imperial Space Force, or a subordinate of the Earl of Darrenwald, or possibly Chris' husband, as Lieutenant-Colonel Serena.

Before that, maybe the Marquis of Halls or Count Darren Wald had a crush on me!

We're going in there, too.

Big families are good, right?

"You guys were listening to me, right?

Inspired by Mimi's legal relationship with me, Tina and Whiska start saying whatever they want.Let's just calm down a little. Look, I'll get you a drink, so I'll take it off.It's gonna be cool.And it hurts the gaze of two gentlemen, the courtesan and the sidekick.

In the meantime, I'd like to speak up.

I'm not bad!!!
