I woke up with an electronic sound of an alarm.

The lighted room is supposed to be dim, but the room is illuminated by mysterious blue and white light.

"Yes, good morning, sir."

An object like a spiral spear that stood beside the bed flashed like a reaction to my words.This is the entry for the troublemaker who's been tormenting me lately. Damn it.

"Ah... the morning has come."

Cover your eyes with one hand while exhaling.The fact that the morning has arrived means that you have to get up, and that you have to start today's activities.Today's schedule has already been set, and I am very uncomfortable with its contents.I wanted to stay asleep all the time if I could.

"I'm not feeling well anymore, so I wonder if I can manage."

Then go into the pod and get medical care.Five minutes or enough is enough, right?It is said that it is over.There is no dream or hope that complaining of illness will only buy you about five minutes or enough time.

"Hah... will you wake up?"

The seeds of the sacred tree are gently flashing as if they were comforting, but you are also the cause of my troubles?I'm just you!You won't be fooled even if it looks like this.



"Good morning."

Good morning, Hiro-sama.

Oh, my God.

Ohayo-san

Good morning, sir.

Dad took a shower and went to the dining room, and the crew was already gathered.Apparently Mimi and the mechanic sisters have already finished breakfast, and Elma is eating a voluminous morning steak early in the morning.You eat a lot in the morning, don't you?

Good morning, Master.

Good morning, May.

When I got to my seat, May brought me my breakfast in good time.Today's menu looks like a grilled salmon-like set meal.Except for the slightly strange color, it is generally a grilled salmon set meal, so I don't mind eating it very much.The rice produced by Tetuzin Fifth is still delicious today.

You look like you're in a bad mood

"Don't you like going to see Commander Serena so much?"

That's how Whiska leans her neck.

Serena Halls, Commander, Imperial Space Force.A blonde, blue-eyed beauty, a brilliant woman who looks good in a white uniform from an Imperial Space Officer.A young woman, but an up-and-coming soldier who has been promoted from captain to lieutenant colonel for a very short period of time, he commands the fleet against Starfleet Independence.

"I don't think so. I know what I'm doing."

Exhale as you say so to whisker tilting her neck.

The other day, we stayed in the Redfield system, the home system of the Elves, but the Elves were attacked by some alien bandits before we reached the Redfield system.

In some cases, Space Bandits are Space Bandits, but some of them have become large-scale organizations that burn their hands in the system army.Unfortunately, one of those large bandits, the Red Flag, attacked the Reefil system, the home system of the elves.

They raided the home planet of the Elves, Refill IV - known locally as Theta - and abducted a huge number of them and looted them.

The system forces were not watching it with their fingers, but pursued it violently and sunk most of it.We accidentally caught the reaction of a large, missed Starfleet vessel and captured it in Panama by a transfer attack.

Afterwards, the Red Flags raided Refill IV again, but this time defeated it with the help of the system forces and Mei's maneuvered Black Lotus. And to this day.

Commander Serena and Lieutenant-Colonel Serena will appear at this time.I know what you will say when you meet me.It will be related to the crusade of the red flag.

"Nevertheless, I often see you. In this vast universe."

"We're basically operating within the Empire, and our mission there is also anti-space banditry... it's no surprise to battle."

"No wonder I didn't come here to hunt a space bandit this time."

The system that came here for sightseeing was accidentally attacked by a large space bandit, and I wonder if Lieutenant-Colonel Serena would show up there by accident or if someone else was already behind it.No, because of my bad fortune.

It's not strange, but I don't know if it's connected.

"I'm sure you've been face-to-face with something since we first met in the Tarmaine system, right?"

I see.

Of the people I've met since I came to this world, Mimi and Elma are next to each other.That's why I don't want to have anything more to do with her men.

"Somehow, it's fatal."

"Don't be ridiculous. It's horrible."

I trembled at Whiska's words.There's something fateful between me and Lieutenant-Colonel Serena.Now that you are a platinum runner and gold star winner and have won the match before you, and your emperor is happy to remember you, it is not strange to be truly locked on by Lieutenant-Colonel Serena.

"Why do you hate it so much? Commander Serena, are you so beautiful?"

"I will not deny it. Commander Serena is indeed a beauty.It is also highly pointy that drinking alcohol makes you feel full of voids.But Lieutenant-Colonel Serena is the Marquis' daughter.Moreover, unlike Elma, the pipe with her parents is a thick type.Getting along with her shouldn't seem quite dangerous.And above all..... "

I looked around at everyone's faces and opened my mouth.

"I like free mercenary life.I'm so sorry about the military life tied to the rules. "



"Nice to meet you. Thank you. There seems to be an edge between you and me that can't be cut."

"Ha ha, that's so awesome. I'm such a dick mercenary."

Fufu laughs with Hahaha as he rewards words like that in the reception room of the Imperial Space Army Starfleet Independence Bandit, its flagship, Lesterias.You want to go home already?

By the way, it was me and May who brought the legs to Lesterius.Other crews remain in Black Lotus to maintain the aircraft, procure supplies, and gather information.

"The gold star winner Platinum Ranker must be a chicken mercenary."

Yes, you're right.

I was promoted to the highest rank as a mercenary, the Platinum Rank, and was active in the fight against crystalline organisms, so I received the Gold Star - the First Star Rado Cross Medal - but I honestly can hardly remember the benefits of receiving these two.Is it my fault that I feel like I have a lot of disadvantages?

"Looks like you're doing it flashy here, too.Is it my fault you seem to be in trouble before you go? "

"I think it's because of my mind.Don't forget, it's your fault. It's dented. "

Ah, yes.

Major Serena nodded slightly.Apparently, a plea came from the bottom of my heart.

"If you'll excuse me, the first raid was over when I arrived in this system.I just accidentally hunted a leak from the system army. "

That's why I insist I didn't bring any trouble.

"That means you're not attracted to trouble, you're attracted to trouble."

"I don't want to hear that."

I don't like Commander Serena pointing at sad realities.

"Now, how much fun do we have to get to the point of reunion?"

Was there any element in the conversation that made you happy to be reunited?I think I was being played almost unilaterally.

"You know why I called you, don't you? Captain Hiro."

I don't know.

"Stop that ill-headed face right now.I'm serious. "

Shit, can't you just let it go any further?

"Well, it's about the Red Flag, right?Does it feel like you were already in touch at the time of the first attack? "

"Yes, if you allow a descent attack on the planet, it will involve the Empire's tickets."

Speaking of which, the Starfleet Independent fleet of Lieutenant-Colonel Serena - then Major - rushed in when the Starfleet attacked the resort system where we stayed before.Well, after all, Lieutenant-Colonel Serena's fleet is a fleet that rushes around to extinguish the flames where the bandits have broken out.

"By the way, isn't the fleet getting bigger?"

"I was promoted to lieutenant colonel.As command authority increased, ships and personnel were replenished. "

I see.

I went up to the Reefil Prime colony on Black Lotus to meet Lieutenant-Colonel Serena, but it appears that the number of ships stationed in the colony has grown considerably.Battleships were still just Lesterias, but the number of cruisers and destroyers was increasing, and above all, the number of corvettes was growing considerably.I think you've practiced the organization I pointed out earlier, specializing in fighting asteroid belts.Fighting in the asteroid belt is difficult with ships larger than destroyers, but Corvette is close.

Nothing is more difficult for a Starfleet than a regular Corvette.First of all, the shield is too thick to be broken by Starfleet firepower, and neither Starfleet shields nor armor is useful to Corvette firepower opponents.Besides, corvettes are fast, so it's not easy to get away.If you jump out of the asteroid belt badly, you'll be sniped by the super fire of a ship more than a destroyer.

"With this much power, we could attack the Space Bandit's stronghold alone."

"That's right. In fact, I crushed some of the smaller ones.However, this time we're dealing with a large space bandit.External forces - I was going to collect mercenaries.If I had thought so, I'd say this is a scripture because you were just in the right place.Or fate. "

I see.

So, you're going to join the crusade, right?

The Lieutenant-Colonel smiles with a smile.Well, yeah, I'm in.

"Let's talk about money first.It's expensive, I'm a gold star and platinum runner. "

That's how I make a round with my index finger and thumb.

"... won't it be a friend's price?"

"I won't."

I can't read a word.Absolutely not. You can't look at it with a penny.
