I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary
# 090 May's curiosity
The day after talking to Major Serena. Krishna, on which we were riding, safely joined the escort target private transport ship "Pelican II" and was on its escort mission. The content of the escort mission is easy. You can only wander around the star system in a superluminal drive to the extent that it does not seem suspicious, or go round the trading station and resource mining station in the next star system in order. At times, Pelican II may be accompanied by a flying tortoise when Pelican II is berthing for a long period of time due to supply and unloading of cargo. Well, I don't know when and when the pirates will attack, so it's not good to be too careful. Chris's uncle's hands could be attacked. However, it's only tired to be on guard all the time around the clock, so now I and Elma take turns taking a seat in the cockpit, guarding Pelican II while guarding. At this time, I am on my own in the cockpit and the other three are waiting in the dining room.
"Master, have a drink." "Oh, thank you."
Maid Lloyd, who prepared the drinks, came into the cockpit to Gravitist Sphere, a high-tech space-fixed drink holder. I receive the drink and fix the sphere within reach.
"I'm sorry, I'd like to upgrade Mei as soon as possible, if possible." "Yes. No, I don't care. The top priority should be on the safety of your masters. If you don't do any kind of calculations, the current body will be able to demonstrate sufficient performance. "" Yes. Miro certainly said that the performance would be a little lower, but I can't tell the difference. " Yes, everyday support is no problem at all. "
With that said, Mei turned her gaze while standing, and she was expressionless as set. It was completely my ego or a hobby that the emotion value was almost the lowest because it was an unusual Robo girl, so I could not imitate to erase that personality, but what I thought as a person Is it? I'm afraid to hear for a moment.
"Well, I'd say if there's anything you want to change from the default when you upgrade. I can't afford to budget for some more Mei. "No need to withhold," "Yes. No, master. I am not dissatisfied with the settings that the master has created. But thank you. If there is something I want to change myself I will talk to you. "" Oh, please do it. "
Keep guarding while having such a conversation. Well, even though it's guarding, I'm just running the ship on a superluminal drive in sync with the transport ship, so I don't have anything to do. Just pay attention to the response of the compound sensor that can be used even at superluminal drive in case of unexpected interaction. This compound sensor detects gravity vibration generated by the presence of other spacecraft and asteroids, subspace vibration generated when using superluminal drive and hyperdrive, and wake generated when moving in subspace. It seems to be a thing to visualize. Mimi, who studied, explained so hard, but I couldn't understand the theory, not even a quarter. Anyway, it is a great sensor that can be used like a radar even when using a super light speed drive or a hyper drive. Yup. The speed of super light navigation using a super light drive is a bit different from ship to ship. To put it very simply, a large ship can only travel at a speed slightly higher than a high speed, but at most twice or three times faster, even if it is called superluminal sailing. A ship that is more than ten times faster can get more than twenty times faster. What happens to the Urashima effect if you move so fast? I couldn't understand the idea, but both the superluminal drive and the hyperdrive rushed into one subspace where the flow of time differs, or escaped from the relativity yoke by navigating completely within the subspace. ... I'm bad, but I don't know anything about such advanced physics. It seems that my brain specs are desperately insufficient to fully understand FTL (super light speed) technology. Perhaps just not interested. I hope I can use it. Even in the original world, there was no problem even if you did not understand how computers and smartphones worked at all.
"But yesterday there is nothing today." "Yes. That's right. The pirates may have been reduced in number and forced to reorganize." What?
Apparently, it was like a sudden encounter, and it was impossible to completely siege, and some pirates had escaped. Well, I was rushed after receiving an emergency report that it was being attacked, so that would be no different. By the way, if the pirates attack the live food, Pelican II, the siege destroyer seems to be completed in a couple of minutes. It is a nightmare-like trap where if an escort arrives thinking that it is a delicious prey that has never existed, it will be surrounded by a military ship and annihilated. Who was the one who taught Major Serena this terrible trap? Absolutely a sly guy with a distorted personality. Well it's me though.
"The master also has a connection to the Imperial Army." "Yes. Well, it's kind of a strange relationship." "In addition, this ship, a type of ship that Krishna has never seen "Oh, this ship is a little unusual." "I want to know about my master." "Hmm ... that's right."
How far should we talk? I cannot explain honestly about the origin of this Krishna. I was thrown out of this world with Krishna in an imperceptible way. And talking about me without hiding is a lot of content. Talking about me to machine intelligence, which is considered a bunch of intellectual curiosity, doesn't seem too dangerous.
"Master, my information security is not perfect, but it's very advanced." "Oh, oh?" "The information in my memory is swearing only for me. We exchange information only in small talk, but we never give up your secret to someone or something. "
With that said, the eyes of Mei who looked at me felt something like a determined will. Ummm.
"To be honest, I'm a bit of an unusual person. I don't often know much about me, and telling Mei everything can convey my peculiarities to machine intelligence. "Yes, I understand, but I'm a maid Lloyd whose purpose is to do everything to you. I'm all for my master. How can you believe me? "Well ... it's very difficult to prove that Mei won't betray me."
I can't keep track of May's data transmission and reception, and I can't keep checking every single communication log even if she's disclosed her. In the first place, if the communication log itself is May's self-report, if you suspect it, you will no longer be able to prove to Mei innocence.
"It's a story that won't start if I don't believe in Mei ... Well, if I start to doubt, isn't there a killer? I'm not going to talk in the future?" "Yes. Thank you. I hope. ''
With a serious expression, Mae is basically a serious face, but I nodded to Me, and I started talking after I woke up in this world. When I noticed, I was in this cockpit of the underpowered Krishna. My origins that I recognize, the path to Turmaine Prime, Major Selena-Encounter with her then captain, strange match between this world and Stella Online, encounter with Elma, mercenary registration , Encounter with Mimi, battle in the Turmaine system.
"From the perspective of my master, this is what this world is," the world in the game "that you were playing in the" real world "of your master." But there is a lot of information that I don't have in the game knowledge, for example, as far as I know, there was no space empire called the Graccan Empire or the Commonwealth of Beleberem in the game, and it's familiar from the Galaxy Map None of the star names exist, but there are a lot of names in the game among the spaceships, equipment, and other products in circulation. "" I see ... it's a strange state. By the way, do you know the simulation hypothesis? "" Simulation hypothesis? I don't know "" I, my master, all natural phenomena, everything is terrible It's a hypothesis that it's a computer simulation that is being run with great technical skills. "" It's a terrible hypothesis. In the end, some people think that everything in this world is a simulation and you can do anything. Isn't the preciousness of life going to be lost? "" Yes, that's right. From the master's point of view, doesn't this theory seem to be out of the question? `` So, I lost my way into a non-world similar to a game '', `` It would be a lie if I did not fall into such a sense, but I can hardly think that this world is a simulation when in contact with Mimi or Elma In the first place, the technical level of my world was far inferior to the technical level of this world. I don't feel like the whole earth where I lived was simulated: I didn't enter the game world, I jumped out of the simulation world. Everyone has no idea if that happened. ''
Rather, as I first insisted on the Elma, it was still sitting on the grounds that the existence of me in a parallel world or parallel universe had fallen into this world with an astronomical probability due to a hyperdrive accident or something I feel good. Even so, the gap between my self-awareness and reality is ridiculous. In short, you don't know why. Yup.
"To be honest, I don't feel like it's wasted just thinking about it. Maybe I'm not a human in this world, check it out!" You may find the answer, but even if you do that, you can see it with white eyes or curious eyes.To be honest, it is better to stay away from my origin I wonder if it's there. ''
It doesn't feel inconvenient for now. It was nice to have a convenient organization like the Mercenary Guild, or Krishna for being with me. Without Krishna, I might have been in a worse situation than Mimi.
"I see ... I see. If my husband thinks so, I think that's okay." "I think it may be a problem that we need to confront, at least not now. Maybe"
There is no reason why anything has to return to the original world. I'm worried about what I'm doing in the original world, but if I can't go back, I can't help but care. If I have a lover or a family, I'll try to get back, but I don't have any. Fortunately or unfortunately. On the contrary, the desire to stay here is stronger. There's Mimi and Elma too.
"I guess this story is enough. What else?"
Then, for a while, information gathering proceeded in the form of answering May's questions.
