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

"I'm really sorry. I apologize."

A minute later, Chief Zesh of the Grad clan sat down in front of me.What happened to the elf that came to me a minute ago? Zesh's hand, which appeared while I desperately stopped May, was shaken with a sheathed brutal sword, and he took a blow to the back of his head and fainted.I was taken to my beloved elves by the gaze of Zesh.

"I was surprised by the sudden incident, but I accept the apology.So, what is this? "

"Of the Grad clan, I was the head of the clan who was particularly good at magic.To put it plainly, they're the heads of people who hate science and technology. "

Zesh raised her face and sat down on the floor.You mean the Grad clan isn't a single rock?Well, it's not true that one faction is united perfectly.Isn't that a rare story?

"... why are you here? And that kind of behavior?"

"A proposal from the Rose clan - that is, to act as a group of people who were categorically opposed to the transfer of Hiroshi and his crew by a spaceship.Their faction's hard-line claims led to the use of an airliner.As a result, I put Hiro and the others in danger, so I brought them here to apologize.... "

"So, what's it like? Seriously? Is that true?"

I don't know how to look at that. I wonder if you were satisfied with following it from the beginning.At least I didn't mean to apologize.

"As of last night, I had agreed to apologize to you, no matter what, but when I arrived on this ship, it wasn't easy.I was stuck by magic and delayed. It doesn't depend. "

That's why Zesh apologized again with his forehead on the floor.

Well, sincerity comes through, and Zesh took care of it himself.Perhaps this series of events is a play in itself, but even so, I seriously knocked down the faction leader in front of me and lowered my head to the floor myself.Even if this was a play, I'm willing to forgive you if you do it this far.

"As for the thing I ate... well, if the Grad family is responsible for any kind of disposition, I won't say anything more.When it comes to accidents... it must have been difficult to predict, but I've heard that if we make a mistake, we could die, and that the reason for the delay in rescue was caused by elves rubbing each other's inner rings.I don't think you want me to show any sincerity. "

"True story. If I were in the opposite position, I would agree.No, it's just too generous to think so. "

"Do you think they're going to demand something a little stronger?"

To be honest, yes.

Zesh nodded honestly.He remains seated on the floor.I'm sitting on the couch.

"You lowered your head without regard, and even if there was an unexpected trouble in the apology, you cut it off again.Will you dispose of it afterwards? "

"Of course, it doesn't make sense to eat someone you owe an apology to like that.I'll be sure to take tough measures. "

"Okay, well, there are a few reasons why I'm not asking for this.First of all, there's one thing you guys don't seem to have that I want, even if I ask for something.You don't have cutting-edge ship technology, do you?Besides, for example, even if you ask for money, Enel is not in trouble so far, and no matter how much you charge, millions of Enel is good for this case.Isn't that right, May? "

"Yes. Between 1.5 million and 2.5 million energies would be a good idea for compensation."

After hearing May's words of 1.5 million to 2.5 million Enel, Zesh's complexion became considerably worse.Yeah, well, that's a lot of money.I wonder if the Grad family that lives on their own in the middle of the woods is quite heavy to pay for.

"It's probably a lot of money for you, but for me it's not even a dime, but it's enough money to earn in less than a month.Even if you ask for money, it won't be an immediate amount, and it's obvious that you'll be detained for a considerable number of days because of the legal process.It would be a waste of time to sit on this planet and spend the rest of my life doing that. "

"I see, but it's not going to work."

"Of course it is.If they say forgive me because there's nothing I can do about it, I might lose my privilege as an honorary aristocrat of the Empire. "

"Honorary aristocracy"

Return the word "honorable nobleman" that came out of my mouth to the Xesh Parrot.Yeah, suddenly it feels like an honorable nobleman, right?

"That's right. Uh, what's a gold star?Was he treated like a Vicomte in the Empire? "

"Yes, I have checked, but you, the clan chiefs of the Rifil system, are equivalent to officials in the Rifil Autonomous Government, but they are civilians under the Imperial Civil Code.In other words, your husband can slay all your clan chiefs in the name of the rights recognized in the Imperial Civil Code and the Law of Nobility.Of course, not metaphorically, but physically. "

"What....."

Looks like they didn't know I was an honorary aristocrat of the Empire.Well, I didn't say that roughly."I am the Honorary Vicomte of the Goldstar.If you treat it badly, it'll be a mess.It's not too much trouble to go around saying, and it's too small a move.

"Say it yourself, but forget the words of the Countess of Honor.Anyway, it would be nice if you could show some kind of apology within the bounds of common sense and with something other than money as much as possible.It is enough to say that you can relax at the resort in the finest hotel where you can set up a meal, that you provide the delicacies of the mountains and seas that are rarely eaten in Theta, that you prepare a lot of delicious food that is well preserved, that you give us a variety of delicious liquor for our three drinkers, and that you give some beautiful jewelry and clothes to the female team.Because that's not what I'm talking about. Prepare 1.5 million energy. Sense, please. "

"That's a tough one. But I understand.I want us to make amends. "

"Do it. Ah, no matter how much I look like a girl, I'm on time for your service."

"I understand."

Zesh nodded heavily. Okay, this will not be a new crew situation.If you're in trouble, you can use this as a shield to say no to Zesh.

"Well, that's where apologies and atonement are.And there's something else I'd like to ask you. "

That's why I took out the luminescent object that was hidden behind the sofa I was sitting on and showed it to Zesh.Seeing a mysterious object like a shiny drill-shaped spear held in my hand, Zesh's expression fell out of his face.

A true face. A great face.My face is a little scary.

"Where did you get this?"

I heard that with Zesh's flat voice pointing his lost focus eyes at me.I'm pretty scared.

"I found it walking around looking for food in the woods near where it crashed... you know what this is.What the hell is this?It's twinkling, and I think I understand what you're saying, and I'm going to sue you for leaving or throwing it away. "

"How dare you throw it away!"

"Uh-oh!?"

Suddenly pushed by the momentum of Zesh shouting loudly, he turned back without thinking.Apparently, it's quite important.

"It is a species of sacred tree.It's the key to resurrecting the Mid-Burned Divine Tree from a Space Bandit raid. "

"Heh... I don't know, but if it's important, I'll give it to you."

Apparently, it's something very important to Elves.Even if I have it, I use it for a little lighting, and I've never taken care of plants.It would be better to leave it to the elves.

That's how he tried to give it to Zesh, but he shook his head violently sideways.Then the mysterious light-emitting object, the seed of the divine tree, flashes violently as if it were a sign of rejection.

"I can't do that. It was Hiro who was discovered by the seeds of the god tree.I need Hiro to keep it until it germinates. "

The mysterious luminescent object and the seeds of the god tree shine brightly.

Huh? You're in a lot of trouble.
