"This is the end of the procedure. Christina, I'm sorry to trouble you." "No, I'm sorry to trouble you."
If Chris wakes up in both rabbits and corners, he will not talk unless he goes through the procedures of the government office. We're done, but Chris obviously needs to do it. I thought about escaping with Chris secretly, but I had to call Bruno and others because it would be troublesome. Bruno with his subordinates hears and records when he escapes from Chris, explains that he will temporarily enter my protection, and briefly explains the space rescue law on which it is based. Chris said that her mother had been shot and that her father had escaped herself in desperation, but did not talk about the intrigue of her uncle Balthasar Dahrainwald. Perhaps it was meaningless to inform Bruno and others. The problem is just the uproar of the Daleinwald family. It is not her, but her grandfather, who is the Countess, who decides whether to make this case public.
"My grandfather ... I would like to contact Earl Abraham Daleinwald." "Yes, if it's out of the star system, it will be in the form of sending a holo message, but it is possible. Do you know the destination? "Yes. He and my guardian are also with me. I have talks about the internals of the Earl family, so please refrain from me and him." "Please leave us, there is a shooting room for Holo messages The content is also instantly encrypted, don't worry.
Is it okay for him to touch the insides of the Earl family? Bruno turned his gaze on that, but that was also an instant. When he ordered his men, he immediately left the opening room. Perhaps they went to the shooting room. By the way, a holo message is a so-called video letter. Is it different from the video letter I know to be played back on a playback device as a stereoscopic video?
"The destination is the third planet of the Dexer system, Count Daleinwald of Daleinburg. The communication code is ADK-4330208." "Yes, wait a minute ... the message arrives at the earliest five days later."
Bruno who operates the tablet says so.
"It takes quite a long time." "If you are in a star system, you can do anything with super-high speed communication, but it will be destined for a star system that is thousands of light years away ... That's right. "
Bruno answers my question, shrugging. A gateway is a facility that can artificially create and fix wormholes and move through space hundreds or thousands of light years in an instant. A hyperdrive using hyperspace moves much faster than light using a special subspace connecting star systems, that is, it is the same as running on a highway by car, but a wormhole Movement at the gateway using is just a warp itself. Movement from a specific point to a specific point is completed in an instant. Theoretically, it seems that the space is twisted to make a hole, or something like that, but I don't understand. I know that the gateway is strictly controlled by the space empire that controls its space, and is not something a mercenary can use lightly. Chris's grandfather seems to be in a place where it takes five days to deliver a message even with such useful things. Considering that it will arrive five days from here, Chris' grandfather will pick you up at least ten days later. Including pick-up personnel and ship preparation, as well as other procedures and schedule adjustments, you'll likely spend at least two weeks with Chris.
"That's five days. That means Hiro's duty to protect will be over before the pick-up comes." "I won't let you go irresponsibly until the pick-up comes, even if you don't worry, Princess. "Do you look so sad?" "No. I thought I'd say that." "It's a strong princess. Don't you think so? Bruno" "Don't shake me ..." "
As a Gachi imperial, she wants to avoid being rude to the Countess. Guided by Bruno, Chris and I were guided to a pure white room. No, the whole thing is white, but the wall is covered with something like a square tile measuring about 30cm on a side, with a black dot in the center. Is it a camera or sensor for taking Holo images? There was a console in the center of the room, and a blue sphere about the size of a basketball was buried in the wall in front of the console.
"Actually, taking a holo image is my first experience." "Is that so?" "Isn't it very common for ordinary people to send messages to distant acquaintances? It's unlikely that you will get out of a colony that is out there. "" I see ... that might be the case. "
Chris nods with a serious face. As far as I know, those who leave their colonies and move to other systems are mercenaries, carriers, cleaners like me in a way like outlaws, or pirates. A real outlaw like that, a merchant or business person who trades across the star system, and a soldier? Oh, and the rest?
"Let's take a picture anyway ... This is a one-off game. What should I talk about?" "I will explain the situation. After that I will introduce Hiro, It would be okay if you could introduce yourself easily. "
Looking into the console screen operated by Chris from behind, saying this. Well, the operation itself is not so difficult. There seems to be no difference between the video camera I know and the operability.
"Now, we're going to start shooting. Hiro must be standing diagonally behind me."
Chris operates the console and starts shooting. Then, the number was displayed on the sphere in front and the countdown started. Shooting starts when that count reaches zero.
"My grandfather, it's been a long time. I'm so worried, Christina. I'm safe. I was surprised to hear that my passenger ship was attacked three months ago. I got out of my dad's cold sleep pod, woke up, and now I'm filming this holo message in a photo studio in the Port Authority of the Sierra system. There was Hiro who rescued me who was drifting in the universe, a mercenary belonging to the mercenary guild, and the cold sleep pod I was in was picked up by a pirate If I hadn't been saved by Hiro, I might have been awakened and played with by a pirate, and in a double sense, Hiro is my lifesaver "
Talking to that point, Chris turned to me and nodded. I nodded back and came forward and glanced at the blue sphere.
"I'm the first to see you, Captain Hiro. I'm a mercenary guild as mentioned by Christina. He ranks silver in the guild. He is the owner of a small battleship, Krishna. I have a weekly duty to protect Christina from the rescuer's responsibilities, but I will use all my strengths to protect Christina until the arrival of Count Daleinwald. ''
I put my hand on my chest and bowed my head. Chris's hand touches around my waist. That signaled me to raise my head and back down.
"I haven't seen him yet, but I think Hiro is trustworthy. At least he's definitely not in the hands of his uncle."
Chris said once and cut his words and took a deep breath. Now she accuses her uncle.
"Grandfather, the uncle's hands attacked us. The assailant pretended to be a pirate, but he looked at the ship attacking the cruise ship and said," It's Balthazar. Those who entered after the cruise ship was made incapable of navigating had been relentlessly aiming at our family with equipment that was almost impossible to imagine as a pirate. My mother was shot over me, and my father bravely protected me and let me escape in the Cold Sleep Pod. What happened to me after I missed ... "
Chris shakes his head.
"Perhaps, my uncle is aiming at the escaped me. I told him about the situation, and he told me that he would protect me. I leave my fate to Hiro. Please, my grandfather, please ...
Chris bowed, saying, and finished the recording. With his hands on the console, Chris's body was trembling. Have you remembered the sadness of your family or have you reconfirmed in yourself that you are being killed by your uncle? Either way, you can't just leave it that way.
"Chris, let's go. I have to guide my ship first."
With that said, I gently stroke Chris' back. I have to explain the situation to Mimi and Elma, and Chris is in a single state, so she has to have her daily necessities. She is a little smaller than Mimi, but she will not be able to wear Mimi's clothes because her breasts are too different, and Elma's clothes will be too tall to fit. I have to go to buy clothes. It's not good to go out too much, but I can't be locked up.
"Yes"
Chris turned around, wiping tears with his hands. I pulled something out of the console, but it's probably a recording medium or something that contains the holo video I just took.
"Oh, I wish I had a handkerchief, but unfortunately I didn't have that kind of thing ..." Sorry. "Fu ... Knights and gentlemen at the same time. "Isn't it necessary?" "The path of the knight is steep. If you take the procedure to send your holo video to your grandfather, why don't you join Elma?"
Chris leans her head. I was there when I woke up slightly, but I remember you were so dim at that time.
"One of my two crews on my ship. An elf woman with a longer mercenary career than me. Don't lose the ship in various ways. I'm currently crewing my ship." Woman ... Speaking of which, there was a story about two female crews. "" Oh, the other is Mimi. I'd better ask each of them how they got on my ship. "For both reasons, I wonder if others would talk lightly It's content. "Hiro has two women on his ship." "Well, there are so many things?"
Chris's look at me is calm, but she feels intimidating as if she was being stared at by a big snake. Stupid ... I'm under pressure ...! ?
"Well, it's good. A noble woman is tolerant. It's a man's worth."
The intimidation has disappeared, but Chris's behavior is strange. Why should Chris be forgiving or nothing ...? Well, is that kind of age? I don't see so many opportunities to interact with men other than my father and grandfather. He talks to Bruno's subordinate who is waiting outside the shooting room, asks Bruno to guide him, and asks him to proceed with shipping. When this is completed, the work at the Port Authority is over.
"Where is Elma?" "The last message was to go to the mercenary guild ..."
