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

"Achieve the target point, cancel the super speed drive"

The voice of Mei was heard over the display, and the next moment the roar was heard again, and Krishna and Black Lotus returned to normal space. Although it was a very fast lightning voyage, it seems that the so large and imposing Brad Prime colony was far enough to see no shadows or shapes.

"I don't see any problems for now." "Yes, that's right. OK, let's open the hangar hatch. "

There is no gap or waste in May's actions. After the test of the superluminal drive, it seems that the test of the ship departure and landing function will be performed immediately. When the ship was moved to the hangar hatch at the lower rear of Black Lotus, a guide beam was immediately launched from the hatch. The guide beam of the mother ship is a kind of tractor beam that is automatically drawn to the hangar when irradiated. In other words, once in the guide beam coverage area, the landing party will not do anything anymore. Of course, you can manually launch and depart the ship if you want to, but if you rush into the ship at too high a speed, you can do a lot of damage to Black Lotus, so I don't do it. With that in mind, Krishna, who was drawn by the guide beam, passed through the hermetic shield and was able to land on the Black Lotus hanger without any problems. The hatch of the hangar closes behind.

"It looks like there is no problem." I have told my sisters to check the hanger equipment, so please wait for a while. "

The landing pad on which Krishna has landed rotates and the direction of Krishna changes by 180 °. In other words, the bow is turned to the hatch side. At the time of launch, this landing pad becomes a catapult and launches Krishna outside the ship. In the future, this hangar will be the home of Krishna. Basically, Krishna is stored in this hanger and literally jumps out in the event of an emergency. Observe the sisters moving fast with optical sensors installed outside the ship.

"Both are working hard." "Yes. Dwarf women are tiny and cute."

With that said, Mimi's expression, staring at them, looked like a sister watching her sister working hard. No, they're both older than Mimi, right? Well, the dwarf's sister who looks like a little girl or a girl is running around a hanger, but it's kind of smiling. By the way, Elma was looking at Mimi with a subtle expression as to whether she was thinking the same as me.

"Oh, there are robots for maintenance, too." "Yes. Krishna has a reasonable size even if it is a small ship. Isn't it impossible to see everything alone? "

Even though it is a small ship, Krishna has a living space large enough for five people to spend some time. In addition, there are various types of cargo space and engine departments, and the size can be said to be about the size of a large aircraft. No, it might be a little bigger. Black Lotus also includes a hanger space that can accommodate two such Krishna, a larger cargo space, and a living space that can accommodate up to thirty people. The length should have been about 300m. From my point of view, it is huge. It would certainly be impossible to maintain such a large boat with just two people. It is natural to operate a maintenance robot. Meanwhile, Tina and Whiska are leaving Krishna to check the facilities.

"Master, it looks like the equipment has been checked. Then we will launch the ship test. ”“ Okay. This is always good. ”“ Yes. Hatch opening, catapult injection. 3, 2, 1, injection ”

Krishna, which accelerates at a stretch with a feeling that the body is pressed down against the sheet called Guntsu, is emitted toward outer space. Is it such a feeling to be ejected with a catapult? It looks like a little screaming machine.

"I felt moderate acceleration despite inertia control being effective." "Yes, I was a little surprised."

Well, it doesn't mean that G was lost. You won't bother. I'm a little worried why it's so effective. Did the reaction delay because of acceleration from outside?

"Since the hatch is open as it is, next is docking. Next, please do the manual docking. "

I don't think I'll do manual docking, but I guess I don't think it's absolutely necessary, so I'm sure I've never practiced it. Doing manual docking must be a bit of a chore, so it may be better to practice a few times in advance rather than bumping it. After several trainings on departure and arrival of ships, it is time to check the armament. At the same time as May's declaration, the concealed armor that had been hiding the armor was activated, and the armament was deployed.

"It's really flashy." "It's amazing. It's a little scary if you think it's a laser cannon fire, but it's beautiful." I want to wear it. "

The scene where the twelve laser cannons are fired all at once is quite impressive. The Black Lotus has a total of twelve weapons, eight Class 2 laser cannons and four Class 3 laser cannons. And I haven't fired it now, but there are 10 door seeker missile pods and 1 large EML. In terms of thermal power alone, it has more than Krishna.

"We have also completed our armed checks. Next, we will check the mobility performance. "" Oh, please continue. "

Black Lotus fires an afterburner to start accelerating. Acceleration is slow, probably because the mass is massive. However, because of the high thruster output, the top speed is faster than expected. When escaping from pirates and other attacks, it's important to top them off, so that's fast enough.

"Oh ... no, it's better than you think?" "Is it better than you think?"

I and Elma lean at my head with more mobility than Black Lotus expected, and Mimi leans at her. No, it works better than I thought. In other words, the turning performance is higher than expected. Such a mother ship basically goes straight ahead, but has difficulty turning performance. That is why it is very weak when attached to a small ship. Because they are in the blind spot and attacked endlessly. However, Black Lotus has faster turn performance than expected. Or rather, it's not only using the thruster for turning but also the thruster for attitude control. Do you refer to my fighting maneuver?

"What do you think?" "It's faster than you think, but it's nothing if you don't think anything.

It's faster than I thought, but it's insignificant for me and Elma. As Elma says, can a pirate opponent be one-chan? That is the level. You can't expect much of a mobile battle for Black Lotus. In the first place, the whole composition is like a heavy gunboat, but there is something like that. While watching the black lotus moving around in space, the ships suddenly warped out with a roar. It looks like an Imperial Space Force ship, but ...?

"This is the third squad of the Imperial Space Force, the Brad star system. Answer me

Communication comes in right away. Did you think this was happening in battle?

"This is Krishna, a member of the Mercenary Guild, and his captain, Hiro. That big thing is my mother ship's Black Lotus. Wait for a moment]

An alert sounds that it is being scanned from a spacecraft ship. There is no dark place in the background. Probably, Black Lotus has been treated in the same way.

"master. The Imperial Space Army has said that he will inspect you. "" I don't have anything else illegal and let me like it. "I'll also leave Krishna there for you to accompany me. Prepare for me." "Yes."

After finishing communication with Mei, she tells Mimi to have the Imperial Space Force connect the line.

"This is Captain Hiro. I land at Black Lotus and accompany me for inspection. Black Lotus has two small landing boat pads. "understood. Thank you for your cooperation. "

Check the response from the other side and send Krishna to Black Lotus. I was just trying to go to the asteroid belt and search for pirates, but it didn't work. In the future, you may have such an inspection with full luggage, and this time you will think that it is a rehearsal practice and gently follow the instructions there.
