I woke up tickling. Something is tickling my nose in the warmth. An unawakened brain will refuse to escape from this warm and peaceful state, and a body without brain command will not move at all. Something tightly tightens my body. A soft, soft object is pressed against the chest. This is paradise. Oh, but sadly, the brain that has so far been aware of the situation is inevitably boosted to a degree of arousal, guessing and grasping the current situation, and its activity causes further arousal. I woke up with a click and had a light brown head in front of me. This fluffy hair seemed to tickle my nose. One girl sleeping with my arm as a pillow, hugging her face against my neck. Neither me nor she is naked. Well, that's the kind of relationship. Well, what happened? It's a pity to get up and moving, but I want to take a shower and go to the bathroom. I don't know what the current time is, but I don't feel like I'm sleepless, especially if it's too early to get up. Yeah, wake up. Be as comfortable as possible. Reach for free with your bright hair in front of your eyes and stroke her head. Shortly after, she woke up with a shudder. She smiles, staring at my face with a sleepless manako.
"Good morning, Mimi" "Good morning, Hiro-sama"
☆ ★ ☆
Now, let's talk about the destination we are heading for-the Sierra system. From the high-tech Alain system, where we stayed, we are four points ahead of the number of passes through the hyperlane. Hyper lanes should be thought of as a subspace expressway that connects the star systems. By using it, you can travel a distance of tens or hundreds of light years in tens of hours. It seems to be a system known as the Sierra but generally known as a resort system. What is a resort star system? The end point is that imperial citizens who do not have first-class citizenship, mercenaries who do not even have citizenship in the first place like me, even foreigners descend on the planet and enjoy various nature experiences and activities on the sea and mountains. You can enjoy it or hunt wild animals and enjoy barbecue with their meat. By the way, the nature experience means that the sun rises in the morning, white clouds slowly pass through the high sky in the blue sky slowly, it rains in some cases, the sun goes down after sunset, the full starry sky shines in the sky If you are lucky, you will see a shooting star. It was written in a pamphlet of the Sierra system that it was the best nature experience.
"It's kind of magnificent!" "Yes. There's no chance to see a colony-born colony grow up."
Mimi smiles with a tablet displaying a pamphlet of the Sierra system, and Elma smiles as she follows. In the morning, I woke up with Mimi and took a bath together, and after refreshing, I joined Elma in the dining room. After having breakfast, he was refusing to eat in the cafeteria for a meal break.
"Hmm ..."
The phenomenon that Mimi is magnificent is a familiar sight to me. Isn't leisure a kind of camping? There is nothing impressive that it is not something new. For me. But I want to see Mimi and Elma dressed in swimwear on the sandy beach under the blue sky. I want to see it. I want to experience the leisure in this world, and it would be ant to enjoy the vacation. I was a bit derailed. Return to the story of the Sierra system. We have said that the Sierra system is a resort system with many habitable planets, but that does not mean that there are no colonies. As a base for supplying supplies to each planet, as a lodging place for those who wait for their turn to enjoy their vacation at the resort, and export the finest natural products created by the resort planet There are large colonies built for these various purposes, as trading bases for trading, and as markets for exchanging them locally. It seems that there are quite a few people who give up on descending to a resort planet that is too high, and who are satisfied just by simulating their vacation in virtual reality in a large colony. Isn't it somehow falling over? What is the description of the Sierra system as a resort system? Here is a description of the Sierra system as a mercenary hunting ground. Just because it is a resort system, this system attracts a considerable number of travelers. There are many passenger ships in service, and there are many escorts to protect them. Many ships carry supplies to resort planets from other star systems, and there are not few merchant ships because business opportunities are created where a large amount of supplies gather. Now, as you can tell from this point, they appear in places where many private ships gather. Yes, pirates. The people on the passenger boat are like visiting a resort on vacation, so there are many wealthy people. There are many uses, such as demanding a ransom, selling it off as an illegal slave, or using it for its "fun". Needless to say, merchant ships and transport ships. There are quite a few vessels that carry high-value goods, and at the same time very high rates of packing luxury items, food and other necessities. There is no reason not to aim. Of course, cruise ships and merchant ships are not necessarily vulnerable to pirates, so they hire escorts to protect themselves. That's why the pirates also attack in a cabal. Inevitably, the pirates encountered in this space often form a cabal with twenty or thirty instead of ten. It seems that the sole mercenary work is not only hunting pirates, but also escorting merchant ships. Either way, it is often difficult, so it seems that many mercenaries in the Sierra Prime Colony's mercenary guild form a so-called "field" fleet and act as a team.
"Hiro?" "Hmm? What's up?" "No, what happened when I shut up suddenly?" "I just thought about how to earn in the Sierra system." "You're surprisingly serious. Thinking about business rather than vacation until you come to a resort star system. "" If you are surprised, you will feel subtle, but ... it's like sex or learnability. "
She shuffles her shoulders and answers Elma, who tells her terrible expression. In fact, it may be a national habit. It is a kind of anomalous that if you leave it alone it will work until you die due to overwork.
"But, first of all, is it a Sierra prime colony?" "Yes. It seems that you need to make a reservation at the colony to enjoy a vacation on a resort planet." "" It's about an hour and a half. "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "I'm not persuasive." "I'm sorry. I don't think any good boy is as good as me." "What about saying it myself?"
Elma turns to Jito. No wonder, the games in this world are just things that don't fit my skin. The only way to kill time is to read an e-book you bought, exercise in the training room, or exercise in the bedroom with Mimi or Elma. Is it better to look for a hobby that can kill time in this world?
"Hi-sama, I'm going too!" "Yes, then go?" "... I'm going too."
Anyway, Mimi somehow decided to go to the training room with Elma. It's not that big, but the training room. Okay, though. Three people move their bodies and sweat. I am a menu that mainly improves muscle strength by applying stress to muscles. Mimi often offers endurance menus, while Elma offers flexibility and quickness.
"I've hit you!" "Your body is so stiff. Is softness of the body important to use the muscles you put on effectively?" "I can't tune!" "I'm gonna go. See you, Ichisan-san. Ganbare ♡ Ganbare ♡" "Ah !?"
Today we have incorporated flexibility into the menu, but Elma is relentless. I bend my stiff body without mercy. Shinu.
"Is it so spicy?" "Mimi's body is soft." "I'm confident in my body softness!" "Ugogogo ..."
Also be aware of me being folded by Elma behind a warm conversation! Some are crying! Training in such a condition, Mimi and Elma moved and felt refreshed, and I left the training room while stretching the stiff muscles of my whole body and wobbling the rattled body Was. Is it better to enter this simple medical pod ...?
☆ ★ ☆
"I'll be in normal space soon. Count, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ......!
Is it all right to say Gyu-Oh-Oh, or can we say Gyu-Oh-Oh-Oh? Anyway, we made a hard-to-describe sound and we returned from the space full of colorful lights to the space where the stars shine.
"Comparison of star system data, confirmation of coordinates .... Successful identification of current coordinates." "Set navigation data to Sierra Prime colony."
Immediately, Elma determines the current location by comparing data from the Sierra system and surrounding information, and Mimi sets up navigation to the destination based on the data. It was a lot of work before moving here from the Turmaine system where I met Mimi and Elma. Mimi is getting used to it, and it's getting pretty smooth.
"Well, let's go. Super light speed drive ready." "Okay, super light speed drive charge started. Count, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ... charge completed." "Super light speed drive start."
Krishna transitions to a superluminal drive state with a sound like an explosion sound called Zudong. The stars, which were light spots, became lines and began to pass behind.
"Arriving at the Sierra Prime Colony ... If there's nothing, I'm just 10 minutes away." "Yes. If there was no trouble as before-"
So was Mimi saying a flag? An alarm began to ring in the cockpit.
"... Mimi" "Eh !? Am I bad?"
Mimi, whose name is called to me, is in tears.
"No, it doesn't mean that Mimi is bad, isn't it? It was a very promised development."
An interdictor is a device that forcibly releases the superluminal drive state and forces the navigating ship to return to the normal navigation state. I don't know the exact theory, but it seems that we can do something by managing mass, gravity, etc. It's a world that you can't really understand, but there are only two types of people who can interact with you ... no, there are only three types. One is the patrol star system. My ship, a single ship like Krishna, is honestly a suspicious ship. Usually, merchant and passenger ships are escorted and sailed in fleets. A single ship flying around is like a mercenary or a detached pirates. In other words, it is suspicious, so when the Star System sees such a suspicious ship, it may stop the ship using an interdictor and conduct an inspection. The other is, of course, a pirate. They use interdictors to stop merchant and cruise ships driving at superluminal speeds, use force to seize ships, and attack and steal crew, passengers, and cargo. The last one is the same mercenary as me. Some of the bounty heads flee as single ships, so mercenary ships following them may use interdictors to kill targets. Krishna is also piled up. Although I rarely use it.
"What do you think the other person is?"
No warning has been issued even now with the interdictor. Elma's view is not wrong.
"Why were you targeted?" "It's because we are single ships. I think it was caught by radar the moment we left hyperspace."
Gravitational field emitted by the interdictor? Continue consulting while fleeing from the office. The guys who have been talking about the ass aren't very good. If you want to do it, you can escape without difficulty.
"Do you want to kill?" "Is it okay? This pirates in this system seem to be large for each group," "Okay. I know the height of the interdictor is high." "Oh, yes. "Oh, Mimi, we're ready to fight. Watch out for the radar, probably because there are so many. Also be prepared for the G. You may be taking a maneuver that can't be absorbed by the anti-G device." "" Elma, chaff unfolds as soon as you return to normal space. Flare if necessary. "" I know. It's always good. "
Suddenly drops the output and releases the superluminal drive state without opposing the power of the interdictor. If you choose to fight, there is less chance to unlock yourself than to forcibly cancel the superluminal drive state. Zudon! With the sound, the superluminal drive state is released, the stars flowing in a line stop, and return to the light spot.
"Locked on from an unidentified machine! Juzo Enemy!" "Chaff deployment" "Weapon System Online. Go!"
Start the fighter maneuvers with the dropped output fully open. Now, showtime.
