I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary
# 133 Living space
Continue to walk the mother ship. By the way, the Skies Brasnil-class mother ship Black Lotus is a fairly large ship, but the number of crew required to operate it is not very large. Rather, it is designed so that anyone can operate it alone. This is, of course, the result of a high degree of automation, but I do not know how this extreme labor saving has evolved in the history of this world. In my opinion, SOL was a game where one player could play one or more boats, so it was natural to be able to move any large boat alone. It is. However, after actually coming to this world, which is as similar as SOL, I feel a little strange. No matter how much automation is involved, being able to operate a ship of this size alone would be more expensive than hiring personnel. Tina and Whisker seem to know more about that, and I'll ask if I have the time.
"This is the break room"
Sara looks back at us with a face full of himself. The size of the break room was considerable. In my sense, it's the size of a ryokan's banquet hall. It's big enough for a child to run around.
"Wow, it's spacious." "Certainly, Krishna's cafeteria is settled down, but the rest room here seems to be quite relaxing. Oh, there's a terrarium there."
Elma walked to the planted space in the corner of the break room. Apparently, a part of the wall is covered with glass, and a small space imitating the natural environment is created beyond it. Oh, this is that. It's like a lizard or an iguana. However, if you look closely, you will find nothing but plants. It seems to be a kind of facility where you can simply enjoy watching the growing plants. It would have been interesting if there were any creatures. I immediately lost interest in that, but Mimi and Elma seemed to have no interest in it and looked at the terrarium and things for a while. It seems that colony-grown mimi simply don't remember seeing plants, and Elma may have something that makes them feel like an elf. I don't know. The rest room was equipped with other comfortable sofas and table sets, as well as drink servers and massage chairs, and it certainly seemed like a break room.
"The cafeteria, training room, and shower room are also located nearby. Unused crew rooms, cabin rooms, and medical offices. This area is like a Black Lotus lot."
Guide Sara and look around the facilities in the living quarters. The cafeteria is larger than Krishna's, and the automatic cooker is located in the same Tetudin Fifth as Krishna. There is plenty of room in Krishna's dining room for three people, but if you eat with five people, including Tina and whisker, this may be wider. Also, the training room is larger because this one is bigger. There are training equipment that Krishna does not have, and because of its size, three or more people can train at the same time. Krishna's training room wasn't very large, so it was a bit too small to train with three people at the same time. When you get up in the morning, you may want to train in this training room, take a shower, and have breakfast in this canteen. The rest room is larger and it seems to be relaxing. And Mimi and Elma seem to like the terrarium a lot. What happens to that terrarium? Is it automated like a food production factory that I saw someday? I guess it's automated. If it is not, it will wither quickly.
"Let's head to the cockpit."
After we look through the living quarters, we finally head to the cockpit.
"Hey, after all it is quite large when it comes to the mother ship."
This was not as large as the break room, but it was quite large. It is a space where up to ten people can spend time. Unlike the Krishna, the Black Lotus cockpit is located near the center of the ship, not on the outer edge of the ship. So it might actually be better to say it's a battle command post than a cockpit.
"In operation, I basically sit in this seat and take full control of the ship."
That said, what Mei pointed to was a sheet with some sort of optional part, but not some sort of goblet and decoration. There are a lot of terminals that you don't understand, and it is obviously not a normal sheet.
"It's a sheet that feels so brilliant." "Yes. It's a custom sheet that maximizes the processing power of the electronic brain like me. You can control the life of the ship, and everything else related to this mother ship. "" I see. Isn't it all right to take control of the system? " "It's over." "Yes. I've left this control."
Saying that, May nodded with a click. Leave this to Mei and you won't have to worry.
"I don't think there's any place I need to guide you here. The ship's guidance is complete, but is there anything you're worried about?" "Especially everyone. "I don't have anything in particular" "I don't even have it" "No problem"
Everyone doesn't seem to have anything special.
"So, can you sign this here? Yes, fine."
After signing the tablet that Sarah had given out and signing it on a small digital assistant, Black Lotus is now officially my ship. At the same time, the remainder of Black Lotus's money will be transferred to Space Dberg. That's the deal done. After confirming that, Sara relievedly stroked her chest. For her, this deal would have been a series of hardships. Mostly because of that sister. me? I ... I don't really intend to mess with me. It is undeniable that Sarah was involved in trouble when I was involved in the disaster, but it was not because I was conscious. It can not be helped. I'm bad.
"Sara was taken care of me." "No, I'm nothing ... no, well, I did my best."
Sarah was finally looking into the void with distant eyes, as if various things had gone beyond his mind, saying he was not doing anything. They seemed to have had a hard time. Sarah is in a difficult position.
"This was a good experience for me. Thank you again, Hiro." "No, this is it. I don't think it was all my fault, but it was a pain." There's really nothing wrong with Hiro-sama ...
Sarah emits a black aura with a smile, perhaps reminiscent of her sister's existence. The sisters are now like crew members on board our ship, so please withdraw that black aura. Calm down. Calm down. Why is it so wild? No, even if it goes wild.
"Hahaha ... Well, they both seemed to have tolerated quite a bit, and they're going to be a dangerous mercenary from now on."
I don't know if my remarks worked, but for the moment the black aura seems to have retracted and nothing else.
"I'm going to stay in this colony for a while and run this ship-the Black Lotus break-in. You may be worried about it after you actually start it. I'll get it. "" Yes, please contact me right away. Thank you in advance for Space Dwelling. "
Sarah smiled wide with her childish face.

"Yes, that's why I'm leaving the port right away." "Ai Aisa!" "Yes, yes. May, are you ready for that?" "Yes, no problem. You can leave the port at any time. "
About 30 minutes apart from Sara. Me, Mimi, and Elma were preparing to depart in the Krishna cockpit. We are planning to land at Black Lotus immediately and launch training from Black Lotus. In addition, if the operation of the mother ship is to be carried out, I have never helped with the training of cooperation in advance. No matter how you operate Mei, I feel like it's going to get somehow in the actual production, but that's it. Tina and Whisker will not be participating in our communications unless they have enough time. The situation is, for example, if something goes wrong in Black Lotus. He instructs him not to intervene in communications during combat unless a sudden engine outage, secretly someone has entered the ship, or something unusual occurs. Nevertheless, with regard to the arrival at Black Lotus and the departure from Black Lotus, there is no doubt that things will go smoothly with their cooperation, and at that time the communication line will be opened even during battle. Well, I don't think you'll ever land during a battle.
"Then, after departure, join at a location away from the colony and practice training. Mark the coordinates." "Yes, I marked the target coordinates." Then we will apply for departure. "
Mimi quickly applied for a departure from the Port Authority of Blood Prime Colony, and the application was promptly accepted and a departure permit was issued. Today the Blood Prime colony is thriving. Proceed with care to avoid contact with other ships, passing alongside the Black Lotus along the way.
"Well, it's good. It's exciting." "It's big ... it looks bigger than a mid-sized pirates." "Yes.
Looking closely, Black Lotus's majesty is the exact opposite of its elegant name. Despite the elimination of planes and corners as much as possible, their appearance can only be described as "stiff". Perhaps the concealed armor obscuring the turret here and there further enhances that impression. If we could compare that power to another, would it be a hard sword in a sheath? I'm sorry, I said a little too hard. My true first impression is like an older brother in a rugged black dress with an unnatural bulge at the chest. As soon as there is something, the sense of yabe that seems to reach out to the chest is amazing. In fact, it's no mistake that all the turrets concealed by concealed armor appear to have cruiser-like firepower.
"... I'm terrible. I'm hiding it with concealed armor, but it's okay."
Well, the pirates are basically stupid, aren't there any problems? In addition to Krishna jumping out of a ship attacked as a prey, the ship, which he thought was unarmed, is actually too bad for a heavily armed pirate.
"Black Lotus has departed," "Okay. Let's go to the designated point." "Yes, we will start synchronizing with Black Lotus."
Mimi begins synchronizing Krishna and Black Lotus superluminal drives. Black Lotus has a larger mass, so this time Krishna will ride in the super light speed drive of Black Lotus.
"Now, we will start the superluminal drive to the designated point. Super light speed drive, charging started. Countdown "
A voice counts down through communication.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ... superlight drive start-up"
Don! The sound of the roar echoed, and Black Lotus and Krishna entered superluminal drive.
