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

"My name is Christina. Please call me Chris." "I'm Mimi! Thank you, Chris!" "Elma. Thank you, Chris."

When I took Chris back to Krishna, not only Mimi, who was waiting on the ship, but Elma, who had gone to the mercenary guild, was back. It was his first meeting in the cafeteria, but Mimi seemed happy that Chris of the same age came to the ship, showing a shining smile. I and Elma are hardly of the same age. Elma can be said to be one generation higher than the same age. In terms of age.

"... what?" "Anything"

Elma turns her gaze at her, as if she had transmitted my disturbing thoughts. Is the ear not only sensitive in many ways, but also able to receive evil thoughts from others? I'm scared.

"That ... are they OK?" "Okay. They're both very good friends. Now Elma is just a bit nervous about Hiro's promotion to the gold rank."

Chris, worried about seeing me and Elma in a subtle mood, laughs cheerfully as Mimi dispels her concerns.

"... I don't really have a frustration."

Elma had turned her face away from me and her cheeks were slightly inflated. I want to stick, that cheek. I'm going to break my finger if I do it, but I'm losing my weight.

"What is the gold rank ...?"

Chris bowed. Indeed, how can a noble lady know about the ranks of mercenaries? Now, let me explain the rank system of the mercenary guild. Listening to Chris, Elma turned to her at a terrible speed, so I decided to keep quiet.

"The ranks of mercenary guilds are divided into five ranks: iron, bronze, silver, gold, and platinum ranks."

Elma's thin fingers stand up one by one, eventually leaving her hands open.

"Iron ranks are very well-established. There is not much experience in actual battles, and honestly, at the time of iron ranks, ships should not have great performance, so it is important to match the number of escorts of merchant ships, or to do a little transport mission. It's a step of getting in and out of various types of stations and gaining the experience of flying around space. "" I see ... "

Chris begins listening eagerly to Elma's explanation. By the way, when did you talk about Chris, who didn't explain it yet? Well, it should be after the Elma Mercenary Rank Course is over. I let Chris listen eagerly to the cafeteria seat and start preparing snacks. I don't know what Chris's belly is like, so it's better to make it digestive. Well, is custard pudding good? Our high-performance automatic cooker, Tetujin Fifth, has a delicious dessert taste. I listen to Elma's mercenary rank course while ordering tea and custard pudding by the number of people.

"It's only in the bronze ranks that we'll start running. By the time we get to the bronze ranks, ships are often upgraded to withstand combat, and they can be counted as a decent force. Having said that, it's difficult to deal with multiple pirates on a single aircraft, so it's common for a few people to form a fixed fleet or a temporary fleet when going to subjugation. '' Hiro defeated a lot of pirates on a single machine since the time of the bronze rank? "" It's a rank scam. "

She shrugs her shoulders at Elma, who turns her eyes. Even if it is called rank fraud. I can only say that it was due to Krishna's performance. I haven't even removed the shield for now. Well, it's natural that you shouldn't have to take off the shield in the first place.

"So, the silver rank. The silver rank is a thicker rank. You can gain experience in the bronze rank, and a mercenary who is recognized as a single person can be promoted to the silver rank. However, the established silver rank and the veteran There is a huge difference between the silver ranks, the experience is the same, and the longer the mercenary, the more powerful ships and powerful equipment you have. I don't know, or I'd say that it would be better to make the conditions for promotion to the silver rank stricter. "" Elma was also a silver rank. "" Yes, a silver rank veteran. "

Huh, Elma proudly stretches her chest.

"Now I'm losing my ship and I'm a crew on my ship." "... Sometimes that's what I'm doing because I'm not dead."

Elma gently looks away. Oh yeah.

"So what is the gold rank?"

Chris prompted her to talk, and Elma reasserted and continued.

"Gold-ranked mercenaries are more than veterans. Only a handful of top-notch players have gained experience in the silver ranks, defeated many pirates, earned large sums of money, and completed rigorous simulator tests. The rank given to the mercenary of. Only a handful of mercenaries who can be promoted to the gold rank, less than 5% of the total mercenary, "" 5%. I am also quite good. "

But even if you say 5% of the total, I think the terribleness is completely different depending on how many mercenaries are in total.

"... Yeah, it's a pretty good thing. Gold rank is a top-tier mercenary who has been endorsed by the mercenary guild, a great mercenary. Nobles, soldiers, and officials can be said to be at the forefront, and they generally have the equipment and arms to destroy a large pirate corps with a size of more than thirty ships in a single machine. " "I can afford that much." "Is it possible to go with more than fifty boats if Hiro-sama?" "I don't have to do it straight from the front."

Even though Krishna's shield is thick, there are limits. If you're hit with an octopus from fifty ships, you're in danger of hitting it, so you'll feel like crushing a medium-sized ship and slashing a small ship while stretching out your enemies so that you can't focus on them.

"Finally, it's a platinum rank. There are now 13 people. Among the gold rank mercenaries, it is said that the most active mercenaries will be promoted. Gold rank is the same, but platinum rank is also promoted. It's not publicized, but it is said that mercenaries who return to the battlefield and return safely without regard to any battlefield are said to be platinum ranks. " "Who's, of that," "Platinum-ranked mercenaries have a lot of voice. I don't know if they're lie or true, but I've liked platinum-ranked mercenaries in the past, asking power to speak in the past. There is a story that there is an aristocrat who tried to make it, and on the contrary it was crushed. ''

How much mercenary guild is the highest rank mercenary, but how powerful can it be? I can't imagine.

"You guys ... well, anyway, you've become a gold rank today. "Well, no wonder if my rank rises, isn't that Elma my senior? There's no difference, Se-n-pa-y?" Is n’t it fantastic?

Elma's arm, which has been extended like a snake, entangles my arm and instantly comes to the arm lock. Too fast ... I couldn't resist at all.

"Elma, and more ..." "Well, what's good?

Mimi appeases Elma and Chris laughs. help.

"Cheap! I'm not on track! You're a great fighter in power and combat in power armor, but your combat abilities in life aren't very high!" … By the way, I prepared some sweets while talking, could you appreciate it, Elma? ”“ I'm not suffering.

Tea Fufu, I feel good that way now. I'm going to make you cry tonight, so I'll prepare a custard pudding (like something) prepared by Tetsujin while keeping a dark revenge in my heart and arrange it on the table.

"I have a snack time because I eat a bit early. Let's talk about Chris while eating." "Yes" "Circumstances?" "???"

Elma looked suspicious at my remark, and Mimi leaned her head with a question mark above her head. Yeah, it's actually oversized. Be prepared and listen.

☆ ★ ☆

"Uh, ugu Chris Chan" "Hmm !?"

Mimi hears the story of Chris and embraces her body while crying. It's good to embrace, but please be forgiven, because that big breast is pressured and Chris seems to be suffering.

"It's not a super-large problem ..." "Oh Chris Chapan"

Elma sighs and rescues Chris, and Mimi, who is deprived of Chris, is pressed by Elma's face and crying with a sad voice.

"So, in a minimum of two weeks? I keep this child." "I do. I don't protect it." "I'm definitely involved." "I don't see any reason not to do that."

If I'm Chris's uncle, I'll kill Chris whatever, and for that I'll pour money and effort into it. He already has Chris's parents. If you can't do it, you'll be ruined.

"Actually, I want to ask Elma." "What do you want?"

He nodded at Elma and turned his eyes to Chris.

"Chris, did you have a storage medium to record Holo videos?" "Yes, this is it."

Chris removes something like a thin quartz plate from his jacket pocket. Is this a storage medium? beautiful.

"Is this a copy?" "Eh? Well, I guess you can make a copy?" "I want to use multiple routes to deliver to Chris's grandfather. Chris's grandfather from the Port Authority. He said he would send a message to the Earl, but he could be caught and crushed by his uncle along the way. "I see. I can't say it's definitely not. Copy it and send it to Count Daleinwald in every conceivable way. "" Oh, yeah. You can afford me. No regrets. "" It's still sweet. " No, you can sell the benefits to the Earl and his grandchildren, and if you keep it, you can expect a reward? "" Yes, I'll do that. "

Elma laughed. What do you see? That's right. But it's that kind of nature. I can't give up such a cute girl.

"And is there a mentor?" "Yes, some, but it will take some time." "It can't be helped. If we send any one, we win." I don't know if it's the best or not. "

The easiest thing is to destroy all your followers. Hopefully every uncle aiming for Chris. Well it won't work.

"First step, how do you get out?"

It should be safe, at least as long as you are in Krishna. It would be easier if we could get in touch in real time. I don't think you will suffer from the inconvenience of telecommunications in a world where you are in space. There is no technology like this that can communicate with stars thousands of light-years tens of thousands of light-years in real time.

"If you don't mind pretending to be in Krishna, it's definitely not safe. There's no possibility of poisoning the drinking water and food you ordered, and you'll be bombed with supplies. "It's just one shot," "Do you want to do that ...?" "I don't have a reason not to do it. It might be safer to take plunder from a pirate than to buy in a colony." Pirate hunting or something new ... "

But they drop food and drink quite often and are they ants? It may be an ant moving to another star system to shop more, this is.

"Either way, I have to take action from here first. I'll go. Chris, I'll keep the medium." "Yes, thank you."

Elma receives the storage medium from Chris's hand and leaves Krishna. Should I consider what I can do here? First ...

"Mimi, will you prepare a bed for Chris?"

Let Mimi take care of Chris. Hmmm ... we won't fight in the ring of the opponent. Real combat, plots and assassinations are not fields I'm good at. Speaking of my specialty field? It's decided.

"Now, how to invite ..."

At that moment, she suddenly notices Mimi's tablet. It was displaying an advertisement for a resort planet proud of the Sierra system. Consider that idea and come up with an idea. Isn't that bad?

"I think on the contrary. I wonder if I could be pursued."

I muttered and laughed at the dining room where no one was.
