Afterwards, I swept two systems, but this one was empty.There was a Starbase, but it was completely barren and there was no resistance.

Of course, the system was sealed off.Lieutenant-Colonel Serena, who was expecting a more rapid reaction from the Space Bandits, had blockaded the system much earlier than the arrival of the main unit, with the help of the Imperial Space Forces as well as the system forces of the system.However, the Red Flag bandits, the Space Bandits, disappeared without being caught in the net of the system blockade.We could not find any useful information on the whereabouts from the empty Starbase.Data storage devices were carefully erased and physically destroyed.

"It's kind of unappealing. I thought it might be more like a finale."

Mimi murmured at the table in the dining room in Black Lotus.He got a shoulder watermark before stepping up to the sub-pilot, and there was no room for emotion.

"No, I don't think so, but it's a reasonable conclusion."

That said, I drank the tea that was getting slightly warmer.

They have no choice but to fight straight in the first place.The quality of the ship and equipment and the skill of the passengers are too different.After all, they are busy attacking unarmed civilian ships.I know for a fact that they will lose if they fight against the gucci army.

"Red Flag, where did you go?"

"You didn't get caught in the system lockdown, did you?"

The mechanic sisters are also coming for a break wearing a work jumpsuit.Well, even during the break, the maintenance bots and the drones seem to be working, and while taking a break, the two are checking the flyers and tablet terminals.

"You must have fled into deep space."

"Deep space? Does that mean we're going to spend time on hypervelocity drives and escape to nearby systems?"

"Maybe. Or maybe he's going to lurk until it's almost cold.Either way, I think we'll be able to hide the ringing for a while. "

The word "deep universe" is rather vague, but in this case it means space outside the galaxy where there is no hyperlane.Previous studies have shown that the hyperlane entrance is within a certain distance of the star, and the outer space is called deep space in SOL.The custom is the same in this world.

"Commander Serena's attempts to destroy the Red Flag may have been incomplete, but the fact that he retreated a large space bandit from a nearby star system would have been sufficient.I've never done so much damage to a large space bandit before. "

Mei, who was holding me diagonally behind my seat, said so quietly, pouring a new tea into my empty cup.

"Lieutenant-Colonel Serena, the Imperial Space Force, and everyone in the system have earned their merits, and we have received the rewards and completed the request.Everyone is happy and happy. "

"Happy end... unhappy is only the space bandits - that is, the villains."

While saying that, Tina looks like she can't say anything.Well, everyone's happier and the Space Bandits have a lot of victims out there, and they're hunting down their homes.Surely not everyone involved is happy in that sense.

Don't you like it?

"I can't say anything. Either way, it's easy for the bad guys to do it.Bad guys become bad guys and have a lot of problems.I don't think they liked me and made me a villain. "

"Oneechan...."

"Well, it's not like this.There's no mercy in killing Space Bandits, is there? "

"Well, that's the moral right thing to think about being good for the world.Killing a Space Bandit without asking questions is absolutely right... hmm, I don't think it's absolutely right. "

"Why don't you take off the ladder there?"

"Because I'm a space bandit....."

"Because I'm not a space bandit....."

Tina pushes herself in, but from me and Elma, this is what it looks like.If we start talking about how despicable and cruel the Space Bandits are.Ever since I was born, I've been a space bandit and only knew how to live as a space bandit.He had no choice but to go that way.I don't care if they say so.

Master Left, I hope the Hereafter will be born as nothing but a Space Bandit.

There's nothing else I can do to kill you while saying that.No, because I only knew about that life, I thought it would be a good idea to attack an innocent civilian ship, steal loads, process the abducted passengers and sell them off to customers as I like.At least in the Glakkan Empire, it's a deadly or alive felony.

"Yeah, that's right. Is that so?"

"We can't do mercenary business unless we split it up that much.That's why mercenaries are so vigilant about space bandits. "

Really?

That's how Whiska leans her neck.

"Yes, that's why Hiro-sama and Elma don't basically walk alone, and when we get off the ship and set foot on the colony, Mei is escorted.First, I went to a mercenary guild or army lockup to get security information on the colony. "

"Mercenary business is more dangerous when you get off a ship than when you're on it.I'm buying a grudge against a space bandit.If you're alarmed, a colony gang connected to a space bandit or a mafia will take you into the alley. "

That's how Elma tries to cut her neck with her index finger.

"Eh, wow... that's what I mean, when I went out, did my brother or my sister or my sister arrive?"

"You guys on the same boat could be targets.They're pretty concerned, Hiro.Buy Mae for extra security or buy combat bots. "

"Speaking of which, recently, when you went out, you told us to take the bot with you as an escort and luggage."

"... so overprotective?"

My sister's gaze is on me.Overprotective, but what? I mean, if you guys get caught by strange people and you get hurt.That's why I'm doing everything I can. Of course, right?

"What's up, brother? You've been so tough on us, you've done so much for us?"

That's right.

"Oniisan...."

Tina has a kind of smiley look, and Whiska has a hot look.I don't know, I'm in a sneaky mood.

"Yes, stop. That's it. Let's discuss future policy."

Well, that's a blatant deviation.

You've missed it.

"Archicoenai. Anyway, once your request is complete, collect your reward and return to the Refill system once and for all.Nh, I'm going to give this back. "

That's why I lifted the seed of the sacred tree that was standing on the stool I was sitting on.The crystallized ends glowed like protests, but I didn't know.

"I can't take away the objects of Elves' faith.I don't know what kind of condition this is, but I will return it for now.I can't get near it until it's almost cold. "

"That might be appropriate. I put the Minfa clan chief in quite a bit of a hiro."

"Well, before that, I'll show my face to the Rose clan.It's a corner, so let's celebrate the roots of Elma's home. "

I'm looking forward to that.

Somehow I enjoyed the hospitality of the Grad and Minfa clans, but I had little contact with the Rose clan.I only speak as well as my guide, Lilium.

"Then repair the appropriate high-tech system to find a ship with lightweight power armor and Elma.If there's anything else I can say about future policy, I'll ask. "

Um, if you don't know where to go, I'd like you to have a branch office of my company somewhere.

"That's right. There's plenty of things to do when you hand over a repaired ship and go through a lot of procedures... that's all right, right?"

"That's the way to go. If the performance is exceptionally good, it would be nice to get Elma on board, but that's not all."

It seemed like a pretty high-performance ship for Space Bandits, but it wasn't enough as a mercenary ship to fight on the front lines.Besides, it's a ship made by a stranger manufacturer in the distance, so there's probably a limit to customizing it within the Glakkan Empire.

Then Mimi should consult with Tina and the others to decide where to go.

Got it!

"That's how it dissolves. We'll be standing by in case of an emergency.May continues to ask for the management and operation of Black Lotus. "

"Eisa"

"I understand."

For now, we should be able to separate ourselves from the space bandits.Then we'll resume our leisurely free trade.
