The Imperial Space Force's entry into the front line base ended smoothly. Is it good to have already talked about it, or was it nice to tell the officer who applies for permission that he has loaded not only the stuff of work but also luxury goods, or simply brought this new Space Dwelling new model Was the shell an important material? Well, whatever the reason. It was lucky to be able to enter the port without having to wait a long time.

"But we don't have anything to do."

I and Elma were both relaxing in the Black Lotus break room without any special effort. Mimi and Mei both report unloading and shipping requests, as well as wholesale their favorite items, so I and Elma have nothing to do. By the way, the sisters are maintaining Krishna and Black Lotus. Black Lotus, as well as Krishna, who moved around gorgeously, had been blasted off as gunboats, so they were inspecting their weapons.

"You can sleep if you're sleepy."

Elma then leaned on me sitting next to her and began to sleep. No, I said I'd sleep, but why don't I bother to lean on me? Well, is it okay to do it separately? I keep trying to collect information using a small information terminal, leaving Elma asleep. This information is collected by Mei without fail, but it is also important to properly collect and touch the information. For now, let's gather information on battles with crystal creatures, but it seems that this base has been sporadicly attacked by crystal creatures. The scale of the battle is gradually increasing, and the Imperial Space Force is moving forces into this system for defense. At the same time, it seems to be searching for the source of the crystal creature, but it has not been found yet. Is that strange? The location of the source of the crystal life is generally determined. They are often based on star systems with pulsars. I don't know how it works, but it must be using radio waves or X-rays emitted from pulsars as its energy source, and eroding and proliferating asteroids around it. The SOL has been updated several times since the first time the crystal creature was implemented as content, and all users conducted research quests and defense quests related to crystal creatures, and finally found such information. I had already begun mercenary play at that time, so I was primarily tasked with repelling crystal creatures and reclaiming star systems attacked by crystal creatures. Regarding the survey, it was an impression that those who were playing explorers worked hard.

"Isn't research on crystal creatures progressing in this world ...?"

I mutter without anyone. It is not an impossible story. This world is similar to SOL, but not exactly the same. Not all of my knowledge will work, but some will. For example, the trend of supplies required in a star system that is mainly in a certain industry seems to pass as it is, the specifications of the ship that appeared in the game are basically the same, and it does not change much. However, there are small shipmaker ships that were not found in the game, and there are various elements in the world that were not dealt with in the game. For example, a Maid Lloyd like Mei wasn't in the game, and I don't think machine intelligence was even suggested to my knowledge. I don't know when to start thinking about this wonder. Galaxy Map For the time being, set aside the wonders of this world, and operated the personal digital assistant to activate the large holographic display in the break room and activate the area around the Izrooks system. The pulsar system around the Islux system is ... The next closest thing was this ..., and while checking the location of the nearby pulsar system, a call sounded from my PDA. Tap the call in a hurry without seeing the other party's name so as not to wake up Elma.

"Oh, it's pretty quick ... Did you wait for me to contact you? ""Wrong"

Telling Serena, who smiles and smiles, I lean on me and turn my handheld device to see Elma sleeping.

"... I'll show you."

When he turned around, Major Selena was twitching with a smile.

"I don't have such an intention. I was just reacting to the fact that there was a person sleeping and just operating the personal digital assistant. So what's your use? Major?" Let's do it. There is a request] "Is it related to crystal life forms?" I want you and your ship to participate in the battle as a mercenary. The detention period is for thirty days for the time being. "" For the time being, hey ... I'm excused from continuing to be detained here and there, right? " You are a free mercenary, not a military. It is impossible to keep you in this system for our convenience. You have to be careful about mercenary guilds. "" I see. So what's the reward? "

This is more important than anything.

"Now, we are calculating in the accounting department. I can't say for sure yet, but it's fine to think it's going to be expensive. "" I see. Well, the answer is after looking at the amount and the request. "

We don't make sure. There are things I can and cannot do. Because it is impossible for me to manage the raid of the previous scale without any military support. It is troubled to expect such a thing. Above all, I keep the lives of Elma and Mimi, and the mechanic sisters on board. There is no sight on the day when he was inadvertently asked to enter the dead area. "Well, I thought so. Anyway, I wanted to tell you earlier that I wanted to ask for your cooperation. Of course, there will be rewards besides Enel because it will be in the form requested here. ''

"Specifically?" "I am ready to provide military weapons. Of course, it doesn't go anything, "" It's attractive. "

Military-grade weapons at the SOL were representative of equipment that was difficult to obtain even if they wanted to. You've earned a favor by earning many requests from the army, and you can finally get it after a troublesome quest. Its performance was often two or more ranks, rather than one rank, compared to weapons on the market, and how to gather military weapons was very important for mercenaries. In that sense, Krishna, whose entire ship is entirely military-grade equipment, is truly a unique ship.

"I guess so. Please consider it positively. ”“ I will consider it. ”

It's an attractive proposal, but at the moment I won't take it. It ’s no good to have such a good smile.

"Are you aside from the reward, what is the specific content of the request? Even if it is vaguely said that it is related to crystal life forms, it does not give rise to an image," "Basically, it is a search for the source of crystal life forms. . The military has dispatched a research fleet to the surrounding star system, so they will deal with the crystal creatures that are attacking them. "" I see ... "

I don't know that a nest of crystal creatures will be created in a star system with a pulsar. If you know, you will not do such a waste. No, not completely useless. Because they store energy in the Pulsar system, move to surrounding systems, and erode and multiply the asteroid belt. It is also important to clean crystalline organisms that have multiplied in the surrounding star system. However, if you don't hit the big nest or mother crystal, you will end up with moles.

"something? "No, nothing. However, I've heard stories of wind rumors that crystal creatures nest in the Pulsar system." "... Is that true? Source of information? "I said it was a rumor of the wind. I can't really remember where I heard it."

That was the case in the game of the world where I originated, and I would only be skeptical. I'm not sure, so I can't insist. It's the limit that you can smell with your body saying something appropriate like this.

"... My fleet is going to investigate next time." "The flagship Restalias is a battleship that can be said to be the latest in the Imperial Army, and the cruiser that is the core of the unit is also good at hitting. We have a light footwork due to the nature of the establishment, and we also operate a supply ship to operate for a long time, "" It was pulled well as a reinforcement here, "" It deviates from its original purpose, Protecting this place will lead to the relief of the imperial subjects living in the surrounding star system, and the Imperial Space Force will not forsake its companions.

There seem to be various types of fences also for military personnel. It seems that Major Serena is also a Duke's daughter, and there are various things related to that.

"That's why please ask and ask" "We will consider carefully while consulting with the crew."

So even if you smile with such a good smile, you won't be able to take your speech. Please give up.
