The girl with black hair did not get up easily. During cold sleep, it seems to be closer to `` stopping '' than `` sleeping '', and the body is exhausted due to the burden of entering the cold sleep state and returning from the cold sleep state It seems certain. In other words, girls are hard to wake up.

"N, n ..."

A girl is distorting her pretty face. Do you have a bad dream? The little hand still holds my hand, and there is no sign of it going away. The girl's expression calmed down as she shook her little hand, holding her tight.

"I'm not good at babysitting ..."

Acclaimed I was sighing a little while trying to be not good at it. What should I do if she wakes up? When I woke up, I was suddenly holding a hand by a stranger, or "What if police men? Isn't it a project? No, I don't think it's unlikely that the Port Authority officials are aware of the situation and that the facility management AI keeps monitoring this area. Who will explain her situation when she gets up? Me? Do I explain? Considering her age, I would never travel alone. The family must have been on the same cruise ship together. However, she alone was wandering through space and was picked up by pirates. What happened to her family? Dad, what situation can you imagine from her words not to go? No bright prospects are likely to emerge. The Port Authority seems to be examining her identity, her cruise ship, and her crew passengers, but it doesn't seem to be very good to see from their look. I am nervous considering the future.

"Huh ..."

A sigh leaks unexpectedly. Is the only salvation that a port officer woman cares for me and brings me a stool chair of the right size?

"I'm going to the mercenary guild"

A message came in from Elma who seems to have completed the procedure.

"Oh. The princess doesn't seem to get up yet. "" How old is that child? 』

Mimi has already been notified of the sleeping princess in the group chat of the message application. Mimi seems to have no choice but to worry about Sleeping Princess.

"I don't know, it's definitely below Mimi. About 10 to 12 years old? "I was about the same height as Mimi." "Don't tell me about your height."

In response to Elma, who sends a comical monocular alien stamp with a grinning face, Mimi returns a stamp of a strange creature like a squirrel like a pumpan and an angry cat. You guys are busy. Speaking of which, I thought that this message application had a function to attach a picture taken with the terminal, I thought that the sleeping princess's face was flashed and uploaded to the group chat.

"The sleeping princess is acclaimed as you can see" "Cute! "Please don't take a sleeping face ... but it's cute"

From Mimi, a stamp of a space cat or a squirrel with a heart in his eyes flies, and from Elma, a short story flies.

"Let's take a picture of their sleeping faces next time. I'm angry if I do it. "" If you take me cutely ... "

A stamp with an angry monocular comical alien and a stamp with a cosmic cat squirrel are flying. Should I buy and use some stamps ... because there are no characters I know in this world. It's an unforgettable vacation, will you take some time somewhere and hold a 24 hour endurance holo movie watching party?

"Hmm ...?"

The girl finally woke up while operating the information terminal with her left hand while holding her hand with her right hand. She wanders away at her gaze, finds me and stares at her. For some reason I had my hands tied up, so I shook my hands back.

"... Dad?" "Sorry, I'm not your father."

The awakened princess wandered further with a vague look.

"Dad ... Dad ...?" "Sorry, I found only you."

She heard my words and said, Is it? The hand is tightly grasped.

"hand……"

The girl's eyes re-open, and her eyes are poured into her hand.

"Thank you for holding me." "No ..."

When she released her power from the lightly held hand, the girl finally held my hand tight again and then released it. She tries to raise her body, so she supports her back and helps. The girl who woke me up supported me and opened her mouth, firmly in sight with me.

"Thank you. I ... my name is Christina Daleinwald, the daughter of Friedrich Daleinwald, a legitimate son of the Countess Daleinwald."

There is a lot of information! Well, this is Christina. My grandfather is the head of the Earl family, and my father is Friedrich.

"I'm Captain Hiro, a silver rank mercenary member of the Mercenary Guild and the owner of the small battleship Krishna. Call me Hiro." "Yes, Hiro. Call me Chris."

Chris smiles awkwardly. I thought she was a beautiful girl when she was asleep, but this is more than expected. Of course, the eyes are well-formed, but the eyes that glow black like Onyx are most beautiful. This is a level that is said to be one beautiful girl in hundreds of years in Japan. The body is pretty ... pretty slender.

"I'm going to explain the situation for now. I'll ask you to summarize the questions at the end. Also, should I keep my tone as it is? Is it better to use more polite language?" "No problem. I'm just a little girl with no power, even though she's a Countess daughter. ''

Kuri shook his head and shook his head. She wondered what she would do if she was a tall shrewd horse girl, but she seems to be a humble and confident lady. Was good.

"Now I can just accept the words. First of all, how I picked you up, but in a very simple sense you were a loot of the pirate. You were in the load of the pirate that I defeated I had this Cold Sleep Pod, and I recovered the Cold Sleep Pod with you, I went straight to this Sierra Prime Colony, reported to the Port Authority and opened this Cold Sleep Pod under their witness, and You've come out, Chris, here's the opening room of the Cold Sleep Pod, inside the Sierra Prime Colony's port bureau. "

She nodded slowly, as if biting my words.

"The rescuer who picks up the Cold Sleep Pod in outer space is obliged to protect the person inside it, about a week or so. I think there are two female crew members on my ship, so I'm going to leave them to me for detailed care or care. Because each of them is originally a double room, I guess it will be a form of sleeping together in one of the rooms ... If there is a bit of a bad thing to get on a man's boat, prepare colony accommodation I think you can do it, too. "

Chris shook his head again. It seems that that custom is common sense, as he does not question the boats of men.

"Well, well, it's okay to actually judge me after seeing the scene, so I'll temporarily protect your personality, but you'll contact your grandfather Count Daleinwald You won't have to worry about it anymore. I promise I'll keep you safe until the Earl's pick-up arrives. "" Well ... you, Hiro, protect me "Can you give me?" "Oh, I'll protect you. It's going to be for a limited time, but I'm going to be able to take on the role of a princess knight."

To Chris's anxious eyes, I kneeled right beside the Cold Sleep Pod and put her left hand on her chest and told her to lie. To her she was attacked by a pirate and boarded the escape pod, and when she noticed she was by the side. Anxiety is not unnatural.

"Fufu, my own knight driving a small battleship feels like a protagonist of a holo novel."

Chris smiled at my exaggerated gesture-but I suddenly tightened her expression and stared at me.

"Hiro, my knight. Please protect me." "What is it? My princess."

Chris got on my joke, so I decided to get on. It's a game of play that started abruptly, but if you're a little girl smaller than Mimi, this may happen.

"My father, Friedrich Daleinwald, was murdered, by the hands of my uncle, Balthazar Daleinwald. The ship was not attacked by a pirate, but probably his uncle's private soldier. And attacked our cruise ship, targeting my father and my daughter, me. ''

...... What?

"I'm going to explain my situation to my grandfather in a letter, but I don't have a testimony, but the thief who boarded the ship clearly aimed at my father, mother, and me. My mother was shot down and she fell down, and my father missed me .... The rescue beacon of the Cold Sleep Pod was not working because he stopped the oscillator when he escaped me My uncle should know that I was missed, and I guess there are still uncles in this Sierra system who are still searching for me. "" Oh ... "

I look up to the sky and cover my face with my hand. After all it was troublesome. Moreover, it was an oversized class trouble of the noble house turmoil. I wonder what. Since you came to this world, isn't it too much involved? I just want to sneak down on the thirsty pirates every day, save some slickness and money, and eventually build a single-family home with a garden in a place on the planet and eat as much cola as you want.

"That's annoying, isn't it?"

Chris smiles with a bitter smile. It is definitely annoying if it is called annoying or not annoying. Nothing but annoyance.

"Forget what I just talked about."

Even if. What is it? What if you give up before doing something and abandon a helpless girl seeking help? This me? Is this me driving a high-performance battleship Krishna? This me who helped Mimi at that time? This me who could not abandon Elma? It is impossible. I can't help but see a cute girl in need. Hero desire? How cool is that? Isn't it fine? A man cannot escape from such a thing no matter how long.

"I need a reward." "Eh?" "I'm your knight for a limited time as well as a mercenary. Both a knight fighting for a princess and a mercenary need a reward depending on their work. I don't think so? "

I said to Chris, who was surprised with his eyes round and raised his mouth.

"Uh, um ..." "Whatever it is. Well, it's time to negotiate, Princess. How do you reward me?"

After Chris wanders his gaze in trouble. I opened my eyes as if I came up with something, took off the necklace on my neck, and handed it to me. It is decorated with a light purple jewel that shines with sparkle. It looks expensive, but I don't know how much it's worth. I don't think it's cheap because it's worn by Chris, a noble child.

"My treasure"

Chris stares at the necklace with regret. Perhaps this necklace decorated with this light purple gem is a memory for her.

"Okay, let's take this. I'm going to get my actual reward from my grandfather. When I have protected you, this necklace will be returned. My princess."

When I said that and lost the necklace, she smiled and offered her back. Does this mean kissing the back of your hand? That's kind of embarrassing ... but I can't read the air because I don't kiss my back. I'm a Japanese who can read the air. Oh I'll do it. I'll do it. I suppressed embarrassment and took Chris's hand and kissed it softly.

"Huh, it looks like a holo novel." "The princess seems to be a book reader ... I wonder if he really does such a mess, the knight of the empire." "How about? "

With that said, Chris smiles with her hand kissed on her chest. Is the dream of a girl born in an imperial noble's house just like that? It's like a naked shirt or a naked apron for a man. It's an analogy.

"Anyway, for that matter. It may be a short relationship, but thank you. Princess Chris." "Yes, my knight."

Chris smiles like a flower. By the way, let's move quickly because the grip is OK. I know the target escaped in the Cold Sleep Pod, so I'll keep an eye on the Port Authority. It's been three months since the ship was attacked, and it's possible that you may have given up, but you should not be optimistic. Well, this is the first step. What should I do?
