After the sale of the looted goods and the sale of the captured ship, let's sortie again-he was told by the mercenary guild that he had been asked to carry in.

"I'm sure you'll be receiving a request yesterday today."

After the morning exercise, I was contacted when I was taking a bath and having breakfast, so everyone was just gathering in the cafeteria. Mechanics and sisters also participate in the morning exercise, and they also eat together.

"I'm pretty busy. It's a bit different from my image." "Oh, I understand. I was a little surprised to think that I worked so hard just after getting on Hiro's boat." Is it? "

Mimi agrees with Tina's statement, and I hear back. Even if you say diligent, you don't always sort out every day. I often take a day off after a sortie, and I don't think I'm so diligent.

"I had the image of spending a week or a month playing with a kid after working." "Yeah, I thought so." "I thought so."

Tina and the whisker mechanic sister nodded, and Mimi nodded.

"If you rest so much each time you do so, you won't accumulate money and you won't be able to update your equipment ..." "But there are quite a few mercenaries. If you earn money with a Dawn and you run out of money, you'll work again. "I feel like that," "Yeah, that kind of image" "I'm sure Hiro is diligent compared to that. He saves money and doesn't spend too much meaningless splurge." No, it's not bad. "

Whisker nods at my words. I'm going to spend some money on buying Mei, making the interior of this Black Lotus luxurious, and buying a stealth thermal cloak. Well, it may be that you are not yet familiar with this world and have found nowhere to spend much money other than boats. Well, nothing more.

"As long as I keep everyone's life, I can't afford to prodig and lean my family."

And I also have a purpose. I have the ambition to buy a detached house with a garden on a star somewhere, and drink like a soda, and live a comfortable life.

"Is it decent ... why did you become a mercenary?" "In search of thrill and excitement?"

Whisker doesn't care about the details. At least at this time I don't intend to explain my special circumstances to the mechanic sisters, so I shrug my shoulders and fake it.

"It's more about work. May." "Yes."

Mei who responded to my call displays the request on the Holo Display installed in the cafeteria. Instead of participating in our conversations as usual, we were just listening to our conversations, sitting close to me like a shadow. Principal—Principal? I have a considerable presence, so I'm not sure if the expression of snuggling like a shadow is appropriate.

"Here's the request from the Merchant Guild via the Mercenary Guild. Here's how to deliver about 120 tons of supplies to the outpost of the Imperial Space Force in the nine-star Izuruks system." "Imperial Space At the front line base of the army? Supply supplies? "" ??? "

Elma and I lean at the same time. Furthermore, Mimi and the mechanic sisters lean to us. Questions raised doubts and a question mark whirlwind broke out.

"What's strange?"

Elma and Elma look away at Mimi's question.

"No, because it's the Imperial Space Force's front base?" "It's impossible for the Imperial Space Force in the world to make a mistake in supplying and rely on the private supply in a hurry. It's only 120t. That's a small amount of supplies, but it's insignificant considering the total amount of supplies that the Imperial Space Army handles every day. "" I thought that it would be private goods transport, but for some reason Imperial Space I guess I'm confused by the request from the army.If it's about 120t, I'll be able to carry a cruiser stationed in the Brad system. I don't know the meaning of asking this ship. " I'm not sure. "

Convincing me why Elma and I were wondering, the mechanic sisters also began to lean. He looks like Mimi, too.

"Well, what's the front base for it? Is the Izluks system adjacent to the Commonwealth of Berebelem?"

The Beleverem Federation is one of the galaxies that is hostile to the Graccan Empire we are in, and has previously been a mercenary to the Graccan Empire.

"No, the Islux system is a frontier star area. It is the forefront base for crystal life forms." "Oh ... crystal life forms?" "U, space monsters ..." "Space monsters ..."

Tina hears the word “crystal creature” and turns her face blue. Whisker seems to be pulling away. Crystalline creatures are hostile aerospace silicon creatures that look and feel like letters. They have nests on planets and asteroids where humans can not live, and when they detect other aeronautical races, they attack with high-density energy bullets and lasers, launch ramming attacks utilizing mass, and destroy ships Come trying. What's more, they are angry at the organisms and kill them. The research seems to be progressing in various ways, but the progress seems not good. It is an annoying thing with many mysteries.

"Supplements are a prototype of a new type of ammunition that is effective against crystal creatures. He hopes that we will deliver it promptly for field testing." …… ”“ Because I have quicker feet and lighter footwork. I can refuse if I don't feel good. ”“ No, I ’m not dying. If there is no request, there will be no back, and the reward is not bad, so I guess it would be good to receive it. "" I think that it is also good. And what if you pile up luxury goods such as alcohol for the remaining 60 tons? I hear that the sake that I make is popular. "

Places like military bases tend to lack supplies. If you dare to reduce the amount due to discipline, you may be refused the purchase, but in that case you can sell it in another colony.

"Mimi, you know, sake is dwarf sake." "Yes. Our colony is famous for shipbuilding, but there are many merchants who come for crafts and sake made by dwarf artisans. "

Locals Tina and Whisker also support Mimi's decision. She turned her eyes to Mei just in case, and she nodded with a click.

"I think it's a good decision." "I'll leave the rest of the cargo to Mimi. I'll leave it to Mimi in the future."

Mimi replied cheerfully to my remark with a smile-but when she thought, she smiled and began to sweat with a grin. Yup? Did you say something strange?

"Mimi is suddenly taken on a very heavy responsibility and is hardened." "Eh? It's heavy?" "It's heavy. In other words, it's Hilo's money to buy trade goods and make profits with it. "Is that so?"

Is something wrong?

`` Mimi is nothing but a trade professional, so you can lose money, '' `` it may be that kind of thing, '' `` It may be that Hiro's money is used to melt Hiro's money, that's it. '' "That's right. Oh, that's the responsibility. I don't care if it costs a bit."

It would be troublesome to lose hundreds of thousands or millions of energies, but this is not the case with a trade of about 60 tons like this time. If you can't sell at the destination, you can take it to another profitable colony and sell it.

"... Well, you're that kind of guy."

Elma sighs.

"Don't worry, if you don't get a good price at your destination, buy a specialty product from a colony you've dropped in or an item that is overproduced and cheap. You can sell it in a colony of .It doesn't get angry if you make a loss unless it's too big, you get a bonus if you make a big deal, and you don't mind any small profits. It's a feeling that it would be good if you could earn a little money on your living expenses. That is, earning one-handed pocket money. "" My brother's pocket money earning is a big scale ... "" It really is ... "

The mechanic sisters who heard my words are drawing her expression.

"That's why, please do your best." "Hey, hey ..."

Mimi looks somewhat dying, but she gets used to it. Okay okay.

"Even if you don't have to worry so much, I can help Mei." "Yes, don't worry.

May will train Mimi as a trading merchant at one end. With this, if Mimi accumulates achievements, Mimi's salary increase will be even faster. Self-defense training in day-to-day work, and trade management ... Let's take a closer look at Mimi's overkill. Yup. Mimi is so serious that she may be over-packing her roots.

"I'll help you, so don't worry." "Well, I understand. Thank you, Mei and Elma." "Yes" "Yeah." "It's ugly ..." "It's okay to manage, but it's the captain's job to give the crew a job."

I also traded at SOL as a financial measure, so if I was told to do it, I could do it. Basically, it's hard to know what kind of supplies are cheap and what kind of supplies are scarce in what kind of star system.

"Because I can use my money, make sure to choose a trade item. For advice, if you bring it to the military, you should use less bargains. It's good to mix about 20%. "

Military personnel tend to prefer moderate quality sake to cheaper, cheaper drinkers, because they have some money. High-ranking goods should sell well to senior officers. If the destination is a mining star system colony or station, quantity tends to be preferred over quality.

"Well, I understand." "May reply to me that you will receive the request. I think it's tough, but I'll ask for Mimi's support." "I understand." "Nothing. Just leave this colony, so if you've left it, don't know when you'll come here." "I see." "I'm preparing to leave. "Well, please do that. I'll recheck the equipment and check the route.

Each one starts to move by my command. Now, let's say goodbye to this Brad system. I thought I would meet Major Serena somewhere in the usual way, but I never met him because he was far away using a gateway. I guess I'm not going to follow me out if I'm careless ... but I'm not chasing me intentionally, but if I come across many times, I'll think again. I'm a little worried about the destination this time being the Imperial Space Army outpost, but it's unlikely that Major Serena's unit corresponding to the pirate would be out at the outpost to counter the crystal creature.

Isn't there? Surely not. Yup.
