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

I woke up with someone's sign. You can hear the sound of rubbing behind a warm, comfortable sleep. He manages to open his eyelids, which he does not want to leave, and looks in the direction of the noise of the rubbing clothes. Then there was a figure of a woman already dressed in classical maid outfit, turning her back here and putting her gorgeous long hair in a ponytail. A woman turning her back looks back, picking up the sound of my slight gagging.

"Good morning, master."

A woman in a maid outfit smiles so faintly that she wouldn't know unless she looked carefully.

"Good morning, Mei"

Still dreaming, I returned her a morning greeting.

☆ ★ ☆

"Good morning, Hiro, Mei" "Good morning" "Oh good morning" "Good morning"

When I got out of my room with Mei, took a bath and went to the dining room, where Mimi and Elma were already relaxing. That said, both seem to be lazy or somehow sick.

"Both of us can rest today. Please slow down." "Yes, thank you."

The two smiling people were sick. Instead of being sick or otherwise, it is unique to women. Taking a medicine does not eliminate the physiology of the human body. I won't talk deeply.

"I pack it in the cockpit. Mei will carry my breakfast to the cockpit and follow me together." "I'm okay."

Elma smiles with that. Mimi, who is also a bit lazy, also expressed consent.

"Yes. Mei-san, please follow Hiro-san." "Oh, so if you carry your breakfast, will you usually finish the task and then follow me?"

After confirming that Mei nodded with Kokuri, I headed for the cockpit.

"Well, as always, flashy or psychedelic ..."

As soon as he entered the cockpit, he jumped into his eyes with a torrent of colorful light. Now, this ship I am on, Krishna, is sailing in the hyperlane heading for the Brad system. In one corner of the front HUD of the cockpit, the estimated time to escape from the hyperlane is displayed, which indicates that arrival at the Brad system is approximately seven hours later. Interstellar movement using the hyperlane──Automatic navigation is basically performed during the hyperdrive, so there is no need to sit in the cockpit and monitor the state of the psychedelic hyperlane at all. The likelihood that things will happen is not zero. Therefore, it was common sense for sailors to travel in the sea of stars to monitor in the cockpit.

"Okay, seven more hours ... I want to spend some time in the Brad system."

Galactic Map While saying so, sitting on the main pilot seat, I operate the console and open. Manipulating the galaxy map projected into the air by the holographic display, we showed information about the Brad system we are heading to. The Brad system is a stellar system similar in appearance to the Turmaen system that I stayed in when I first visited the world. It consists of four planets and an asteroid belt centered on the G-star, Brad, and abundant mineral resources are mined from two of the asteroid belt and the four planets. Gas, a useful resource, has been collected from the gas-type planet Blood II, and is one of the leading resource star systems in the Graccan Empire. It is likely that pirates will be rampant if the star system produces such useful resources, but there are few active pirates in this system. It can be said to be nothing. The reason for this is that this system has a shipyard, the shipyard of Space Dwelling, which is the purpose of our visit to this system this time. Why are there no pirates in a shipyard? That's because when the existence of the pirates is confirmed, the prototype ships that have set sail from the shipyard are rushing and destroying the pirates. Why is Shipmaker Space Dwelling so eager to exterminate pirates? That question is obvious. Here's Space Dwelling's response to a journalist who asked the question:

"At our company, excellent engineers are developing challenging and advanced ships and equipment day and night. If there is an opportunity to test the performance of the ship or equipment, it will be used. It makes no sense to leave test targets that are provided free of charge. "

In other words, for crazy technicians, it is nothing more than an experimental bench provided free of charge, such as a pirates. Defeating the shipmaker's prototype and capturing it may be worth it, but they don't know what's coming out of the prototype alone and they are happily heading. If you try to be a pirates, it's not a buildup. That's the same at every shipmaker's shipyard, so basically the pirates do not approach the shipmaker's shipyards. If they are up to two or three hyperlane ahead, they will go on an expedition called a "long-distance navigation experiment". The parts of the pirate ship destroyed at that time will be valuable materials for mad engineers, so naturally they will be looted, and the prize money used can be used as research funds. You can test the prototype and get the resources and budget. There is no reason not to hunt.

"The danger of the space in the surrounding Samsung system will be 'clean'."

This time, it seems unlikely that you will be involved in pirates-related troubles. It's a bit boring and it's a shame I can't make money, but I couldn't take a break in the Sierra system I visited to get a bone break, so it might be a good opportunity. If you order a new ship that is not a new car, it will take some time to complete the construction, and I also want to overhaul Krishna. Mimi and Elma aren't very good either, and they're just right.
