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

There was an incident yesterday during which I was inspected by the Imperial Aerospace Army during the practice training, but after all, I was able to confirm the operation in any way, so I will return to my main business, exterminating the pirate. He had a sudden encounter during Krishna's test run the other day, but it has been a long time since the beginning to hunt pirate squadrons. Tina and Whisker's mechanic sisters, seconded from Space Dwelling, were absent, but the meeting on today's pirate hunting ended last night. Black Lotus, with Krishna in the hangar, departed the Blood Prime Colony without a hitch.

"Then, please operate according to the plan you decided yesterday."

There are only me, Mimi, and Elma in the Krishna in the hangar. May is maneuvering in the cockpit of Black Lotus, and the sisters of Tina and Whisker are waiting in their room near the hangar. It would be worrisome to completely block the information because it was an outsider, so they were able to monitor Black Lotus and Krishna in their own rooms to some extent.

"Tina, whisker. I don't think we're worried at first, but today is the battle. Let's tighten our minds."

Two nervous voices are heard over the wire.

"Make sure you wear your diaper properly just in case." "Ah, it's okay with whiskers or not," "Sister! Hiro too! 』

Whisker insults me and Tina with her face bright red. As a result, the tension seemed to be relaxed. Mimi's glanced at me somehow.

"Is Mimi already taking diapers?" "Of course, that's true. I'm already used to it."

Mimi glances happily with her face slightly reddened. Were you glad that you took care of it? I don't mean to despise Mimi anymore, but recently purchasing a mother ship, maintaining Krishna, and dealing with mechanic sisters may have reduced the amount of time I have with Mimi. After today's pirate hunt, let's pamper Mimi. Of course, next is Elma. Oh, Mei too. Mei has been swinging this time quite a bit, but it is also important for her husband to work hard.

"Departure application completed. "Leave the port." "Okay. Once you depart, head to the scheduled point." "Yes, please leave it to me."

The HUD of Krishna displays images and information captured by sensors of various parts of Black Lotus. The video shows that the ship has already departed and is moving, but we are not informed to us on Krishna that the inertial control is working, especially that the ship is moving. Unless it is catapulted and shot, Krishna's inertial controls seem to work perfectly. Shortly after, Black Lotus launched a superluminal drive and moved to superluminal navigation. I headed to a point where I heard from a Lieutenant Imperial Space Commander stationed in the Brad system who visited Black Lotus yesterday, and is in a space where pirate damage is said to have been more recent. It travels at the speed of lightning at the speed of a mining ship full of luggage and waits for pirates to interdict.

"Well, it's a kind of fishing." "Starry-scale pirate fishing." "Hiro-sama has a big scale to do."

I think it's normal for a mercenary. Well, it's not usually the kind of interdiction you like. Only mercenaries who like pirate fishing like us will be glad to receive.

"Master responded to subspace radar. There is a group that is trying to get behind here. "" Immediately. Okay, escape a little so that you don't want to get behind. Suppress the turning speed with a dull carrier. Turn to the colony direction. " In the same way, if you take the interdict, it will appear as if you are resisting as much as possible. "" That's right. We'll be on standby. "" Huh. "" Okay. May also hatch open and prepare for catapult. Please leave it to me. "

I feel a slight tremor as I enter the battle. Apparently he was successfully interdicted. Communication arrives from Tina who is waiting at that moment.

"Come on, I'm interdicted! ? It ’s okay! ? "Oh, okay, okay. It's as planned. The pirates just ate the bait." Well, did you catch a pirate with this Black Lotus as bait? ? "Yes. Black Lotus's shield and armor are thick, so don't worry about them. You'll be shot a little." "No, no, no! Do you get shot! ? That's red ? "Okay! Believe in your Space Dwelling company that made Black Lotus!"

Thumbs up and cuts the communication from Tina. I still felt unsatisfied, but I can't wait to stay forever. Since this is a daily event, you have to get used to it early.

"Transform to normal space by establishing the interdict. I will scan and scan as soon as it turns out that the opponent is a pirate, so I intend to do that "" OK "

Within a few seconds after replying, the quake, which was fine, became extremely large and stopped immediately. Apparently it returned to normal space.

"Scan completed, opponent is a pirate. The number is nine small. Open the hatch and eject it. "" Okay. Both will start as soon as they jump out. Mei will start attacking as soon as the pirates have noticed that they have diverted their attention to Krishna. "

While listening to the three people's answers, check the feel of the control stick, and switch the display of the HUD from that of Black Lotus to that of Krishna. Then I saw the hangar hatch that was about to open.

`` Krishna, inject ''

A very strong G, with May's voice, pushed my body against the pilot seat. The scene in the hangar is instantly left behind, and Krishna that has passed through the hermetic shield is ejected into outer space.

"Small ship came out of ship" "Escort ship? It's rare that we don't fly together. " I will hit you around. "

You can hear the lively exchanges of the pirates. Hahaha, they're fine. You're good to give me a prize for becoming trash in the universe. e? A sense of repulsion for taking life? Not without it, but when it comes to these pirates, there's no room for them. It's natural to kill all the sailors of a looted ship, and if they're worse off, they'll take their organs out and sell them off, or even worse if they're even worse. Even if it keeps alive, there is no harm because it is harmful. There is no mercy on them. I jumped out of Black Lotus and immediately launched the weapon system and deployed four heavy laser cannons and two large shotguns. Apparently, the pirates seemed to be escort planes, sending six small boats to Krishna and intending to stop the Black Lotus with the remaining three vessels. Six pirate ships are flooding here with random formations and random maneuvers.

"I'm going to sneak in."

Elma controls the subsystem and deploys the chaff. Although chaff does not completely disturb enemy attacks, it can provide deceptive information to the enemy radar sighting system and reduce its accuracy. Chuff in outer space? It's not surprising, but it actually works that way. You don't seem to be sprinkling metal foil, so you might be sprinkling some unknown particles or using some electronic defense. Well, I'm not interested in the mechanism. If the accuracy of the enemy's attack decreases, it doesn't matter to me.

"I'm rushing! ? ""break! break! It will not help if you have a head-on collision! 』

Perceived that their shields and armor are thin, the pirates rush to change maneuvers to avoid the rushing Krishna. Basically, most ships with escorts on transport vessels like Black Lotus have well-shielded and well-armored ships, so if you make a head-on collision at combat speed, the ship on the side of the pirate will become fine dust. . They are well aware of this. Not surprisingly, my goal is to expose that gap.

"Wow-"

Green striations fired simultaneously from the four heavy laser cannons pierced the shield of a pirate ship who was hungry to avoid frontal collision with Krishna with a single shot, and even its armor and hull penetrated and became inoperable Let it fall. Fortunately, only the power system or the control system was destroyed. rare. I slipped beside the silenced pirate ship, cutting off the flight control system, spraying attitude control thrusters, rapidly turning Krishna, and forcing the main thrusters to take behind the pirates. In spite of the inertia control device working, a terrible G attacks, but I'm used to it. Whether daily training is paying off, or taking such a ridiculous maneuver, the burden on the body is not much less.

"Wow ...!" "Wow!"

Elma and Mimi hear a painful voice, but that doesn't mean they can't stop pursuing. Since he was devastated by the ass, he wouldn't hesitate to hit the ass of a pirate ship with heavy laser cannon fire.

"What's that movement! ? A monster! ? ] "Kshit! Do you want to do it! 』

When two more ships were sunk, two pirate ships fired a laser cannon from the side. However, the laser bombardment was obscured by Krishna's strong shield. As far as the condition of the shield is checked, the shield will not saturate unless you eat about 20 shots at this condition. Before that, though, Elma will use shielded cells before, so you'll actually need to shoot more.

"Wow! Come here! ? 』

Swivel Krishna to squeeze the gap between the bombarded pirates. The pirates try to escape, but Krishna is much faster.

"Ya, stop!"

A large shotgun fired at the bow of the two-barrel fires fire, and countless shots penetrate the shield of the pirates, making their armor and hull full of holes. I'll do another hole nearby as well. There is no mercy.

"This is where you are! 』

The last one who tried to escape was also cleared with heavy laser cannon firing, and this time the support of Black Lotus, which was stopped by three pirate warships-.

"I hate it! I want to die! I want to die! 』

Behind the last one trying to escape was a Black Lotus with a large EML at the bow. The other two are likely to have already exploded with laser cannons mounted on various parts of Black Lotus.

"Oh, the last one started a superluminal drive-"

The muzzle of Black Lotus's large EML glowed intensely, and the next moment the last one of the pirate ships trying to escape was shattered. This is terrible.

"-Couldn't start up." "That's right. The battle is over. Uprooting salvage."

Until now, the equipment of a pirate ship that had to be abandoned on the spot, or a less damaged pirate ship can be brought back thanks to Black Lotus. This means that the gain on the sale of looted goods will jump significantly more than before. In particular, it is delicious to be able to bring back one pirate ship with relatively little damage. Captured pirate warships are of little value to mercenaries who need combat, but they are valuable small transports that can be obtained at a low price for fledgling interstellar merchants, miners, and scavengers. It can be. If you can even take it home, it's a pretty good class of loot.

"Hey, I'm going to have to be a little more careful so that the small pirate ship doesn't explode." "... Hiro-sama has a bad face." I'll leave it to you. Look, Hiro! I'll finally collect the loot! "" I understand "" OK "

Move Krishna beneath the wreckage of a pirate ship while scanning a supply container. Well, I'm looking forward to seeing the total amount of my earnings!
