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

"Oh, you use pretty good tea leaves."

Since Krishna had no sitting room, Captain Serena settled down in the dining room. Now he is drinking tea from Mimi with an elegant gesture. Three of us sat side by side with Captain Serena sitting in front. In the center, I face Captain Serena head on. To the left and right are Mimi and Elma.

"And, um ... what's your purpose?"

She asked me a smile and smiled gently and laid a mug of tea on the table. Yeah, fancy teacups and saucers aren't ready for ordinary people like us.

"Fufu ... I came to invite you."

We looked at each other against Captain Serena, who said so with a smile. Perhaps at this moment our thoughts were completely synchronized. This woman is so obsessive.

"I'm the type I won't miss my prey."

Hey ... scary! My back gets cold when I say that while smiling. My arms were caught from left and right. Is it Mimi's and Elma's willingness not to pass on me ... Only the right arm is happy. Left arm? Oh, yeah, isn't it hard?

"I'll show you." "This is a shame. Both of you."

When I called, Mimi and Elma released my arms in a reckless manner. I wanted to taste it a little more, but I have no choice. Or just read the air. No matter what you think, Captain Serena's aim is not that meaning.

"Well, I refused a few times, but I'm not going to join the Imperial Army." "Yes, I know. It's a shame."

Captain Serena breaks her smile, makes a sad expression and sighs annoyingly. It's a very playful gesture. Is this person surprisingly foolish?

"I can't help but give up on it. It's not good to be so recruited and look at the mercenary guild. I want to get along with the mercenary guild." "I see ...?"

If so, what did he do here? I will not join the army. With that in mind, why not go to Krishna to meet me and declare that he won't miss his prey?

"I don't mean you're going to shake the power of the imperial aristocrat, right?" "That's true. If you do that, you'll flee to the Beberiberem Commonwealth?"

Answer with silence. It's hard to say "yes" here. Your opponent is an Imperial soldier.

"By the way, I was promoted. I was recognized for the role of the other day in the defense of the Turmaine system. You see, the class badge has changed, right now I am Major Serena Halls." Congratulations"

Captain Serena, pointing at what appears to be a class of shoulders and reporting on her promotion with a smile-no, she gives a compliment to Major Serena. Did you come to report your promotion? It would not be possible. I raised my alert level.

"I was able to get promoted because Captain Hiro, you were a lion in the defense battle the other day. I was so fortunate that crystal creatures hit the enemy fleet. Why?" I was lucky, because at that time I was just in the enemy fleet, but I got cold. "

Cold and sweat come out. It's okay, I guess I couldn't help if I summoned a crystal creature using the crystal I sang and rubbed it against the Belebrem Federation fleet. Calm down, me.

"Hey, yeah, it was a very good time. Well, don't worry, I'm not going to pursue it."

Major Serena smiles with a smile. It's a face that you can lend. Oh, there's nothing to rent. If I didn't, there would definitely have been serious damage to the Star Army. Rather I lend it.

"I don't know what it is, but I'd be happy if my actions helped Major Serena." "Fufu" "Haha"

Mimi is trembling delicately, fearing my interaction with Captain Serena, who smiles eerie. I used to be a good beast before, but I'm not the same guy who makes the same mistake twice. This time it's MAX from the beginning. I don't want it to be so easy.

"So, isn't it time to get into the main task?" "Yes. I'm in command of the new squad as soon as I get promoted." "Congratulations, is that okay?" I'm glad that I was allowed to establish an independent anti-pirate fleet, which I had long proposed to the upper ranks of the Imperial Army, and I was in charge of commanding it. "" Independent anti-pirate fleet ...? " Yes, at a high level, the Imperial Space Force can be divided into two main groups: defense fleets stationed in stellar colonies and fortifications to invade and maintain the security of stellar systems; There are many mobile fleets that destroy the attacking fleet and take charge of attacks on other countries. ”“ I see, ”“ There is a lot of total force belonging to the defense fleet called mainly the star system army, but the vast empire To cover the area Power is prone to decentralization, so aggressive attacks on pirates and space monsters often involve risks and tend to be defensive. Failure to do so can be catastrophic, so it is not possible for the Star Military to aggressively eliminate such threats without careful planning and the ability to close and reinforce the forces. ""You can understand"

If the star troops were severely damaged in order to eliminate the threat, information that the star troops could not move could be quickly spread to surrounding pirates of the nearby star system and swept away. Even in a situation that is almost completely closed, the number of patrols will be reduced for maintenance, and the aim is to increase the number of pirates in "Flow". If it became known that the state had become almost dysfunctional due to the severe damage, the increase in “flow” would not be enough. At worst, it could be a colony attack or something like that.

"That doesn't mean we can't move the Fleet fleet, however. The Fleet is also the Empire's strongest sword and shield, and it costs a lot of money to operate. "In other words, there's not enough short-strength power. Are mercenaries now responsible for it?" "That's right. Instead of letting it go to the mercenaries, the Imperial Army But it's the newly established independent anti-pirate fleet that is trying to build a short-range fighting force. "" I understand, but Major Fleet Commander Serena goes to my ship. It doesn't really matter. "

In other words, the Imperial Space Force prepares its own strength and becomes a mercenary business enemy. That said, the fleet is known for its coverage, so it's only necessary to avoid stellar systems where independent fleets are active. To be honest, I only get the impression of "Hmm, do my best". It's hard to understand why the commander himself goes to my ship and hears such a story.

"Yes, I came to recruit you there."

I'm saying many times that I won't be in the Imperial Army.

"If you are explicitly rejected to that point, you will burn up on the contrary-nothing! No, I mean, I want to make a request. To you who are professionals of extermination of pirates" "Is it a request?"

If you're requesting through a mercenary guild, don't be scared to get it, depending on the content. I heard some disturbing words, but let's go through. I'm not an idiot to step on a visible mine.

"What is the specific content?" "The Imperial Space Force knows how to attack enemy fleets and enemy bases as a fleet, but it moves in a trackless way with a small number of civilian ships etc. No know-how against pirates that attack

In the first place, the tactics you wear do not match the target. Unfortunately, a pirates who came out of the independent fleet will quickly turn into space debris, but pirates are not stupid. As the independent fleet approaches, it will either escape or hide.

"Therefore, I want you to be a professional in exterminating pirates, and share that know-how." "I see. I understand the story."

Major Serena shines eyes on expectations.

"I will refuse."

And with my plain words, I kept my expression frozen while smiling with Pishiri.

"Why, why? ...?" "No, I don't have to. I'd rather have a talk to the mercenary guild and learn the know-how directly from the mercenary guild. I think he will select the most appropriate instructor than anything else. ''

It says plausible things, but it's just annoying. I haven't heard the rewards yet, but it's probably not more than we normally would hunt for pirates. And no matter what you think, the restraint period is long. There are only disadvantages to me that the rewards are cheap and I am detained for a long time.

"I want to learn know-how from you" "I hate it" "Why are you so stubborn?"

Major Serena inflates her cheeks pretty. Yeah, no matter what the beauty looks like. But the reason for stubbornly refusing is simple and clear.

That's because you're a woman who seems to be troublesome! Take a look!

I can't say that, so I try to figure out a good reason. The opponent is any imperial noble. I don't know because I'm not familiar with the laws of this empire, but it's safe to have insults because there are nobles.

"Because the rewards are unlikely to be expected and the length of detention seems to be long. On the contrary, why are you so concerned with me?" "It is because your ideas and the courage to execute them are out of the picture. Of the only mercenaries available, you were the only ones who had designed their own operations, and the operations seemed reckless, but you did it and you got results. "

This is being praised. I feel a little bit like this.

"And the rubbing of that crystal creature. Did you use that singing crystal? Ah, no answer. There's no evidence. If you can do that bold and brutal hand without hesitation. I guess it would teach me tactics to make the most of the powerful Imperial warships and to kill the "greatly" pirate garbage. I really want you as a subordinate, but do you dislike it? "

I slam the second day today. However, there is no appearance that this person can bear at all. Isn't mental too strong?

"I will give up on being a subordinate. For now, I want you to cooperate. If the army's reward is not enough, I can personally do some convenience. I'm a daughter of the Marquis and an aide to the Imperial Army.

Saying that, Major Serena smiles with a smile. He turns his eyes to Mimi, but shakes his head when he pretends he can't judge. He then turned his eyes on Elma and whispered softly in his ear.

"I don't think it would be tedious to let the imperial aristocrat say this and stick it."

In other words, do you accept it? Honesty I'm reluctant, but I need to keep in mind what Elma says. It is certainly troublesome to refuse too stubbornly. They've sent me love calls many times, and this time I've even been to this place. Not even calling here. This should be taken as the greatest care for me. I'm not happy at all.

"I'll lend you. Please go through the mercenary guild properly for the contract. There must have been a system for requesting nominations." "I am the only one." "I would like to refrain from being incorporated into the Imperial Army in a devastating manner, so please limit the daily restraint time to basically 10 hours. A little ... good. "

This woman who has been tongue out. What were you going to do?

"And I have the know-how as a mercenary, just to hunt down pirates with a single ship. "I can't guarantee it." "Yes, I understand that, but that's all we need to chew and absorb well. Don't worry, the Imperial military is excellent."

Major Serena answers with a smile. The mood seems to be getting better, probably because the negotiations are likely to be over.

"The rest is reward ... Elma, how much is the right amount?" "It's difficult. I don't think mercenaries will be invited to the army as a tactical instructor and I think there is no precedent. If you are a day-constrained type of escort request, the market price is about 30,000 to 50,000 energy per day. "" It's not an escort mission with a risk of life, so is it a little cheaper? The reward is the amount of the commission for the fleet that can handle the escort, right? "

Major Serena immediately puts in a price on Elma's offer. It's astute. Perhaps I did some research beforehand. It seems that such a place is not overtaken, this person.

"But, if Hiro goes out to hunt normally, he earns an average of 200,000 energy per day. If he is detained for a month and his profit is less than a quarter, he will not pay for it. I'm not a philanthropist, so if I don't have a profit, it won't work.

Elma shrugs at a sharp turn in response to Major Serena's objection. Actually, you don't earn 200,000 every day, and you don't mean you can earn 6 million energy in 30 days because you are resting. However, during the detention period, even if a delicious request occurs, you can not participate and it is not without opportunity loss.

"Gummu ... 40,000 energy a day ..." "At least 60,000. At least 40,000, it won't be a story."

Elma looks at me. I couldn't judge, so I shrugged in the sense of leaving it to me.

"That's okay. Is there any request from Hiro?" "If you don't understand the performance of the ship, you can't make a tactic. I want to get the data of the ship and the armament in advance. "It's also necessary to let me know." "As long as it can be made public. For simulators, I will hand over the data to the mercenary guild in advance." "So, that's fine.

Elma and Major Serena nodded. Thus we were detained for thirty days as instructors of the Graccan Imperial Space Force, an independent anti-pirate fleet.
