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

Welcome to your port of call, Captain Hiro

"Thank you."

Observe the port section of the leafy prime colony by manipulating the Krishna console while responding appropriately to communications from the Port Authority.

There are quite a few unfamiliar ships in the area.

"? unfamiliar, is it?"

Mimi tilts her head wondering at my actions.

Mimi's doubts were particularly serious.Basically, for those of us who do not have a fixed home colony, almost all ships that are docked in the port section of the colony are "unfamiliar ships".Like Commander Serena's Lestarius, it was more unusual to encounter them too often, even though they didn't have a specific destination.

"Oh, you mean a model I haven't seen much of?"Indeed, if you say so, it's a very unknown ship. ”

A mercenary or a deep space exploration fleet?

"I can't say for sure because there are many models I don't know, but it seems to be a bit of an improvement for exploration fleets and armed merchant fleets."It sounds like a fleet of mercenaries. "

What caught my eye was a bright red small ship sitting in the middle of a multitude of docked ships.It is a large class of small ships, probably as large as Krishna's.It was about the size of a small ship.Armed... I don't know. The only thing I could see was a large-calibre cannon on top of the plane.

"Stand out, that plane."

Well, I feel like Krishna somehow.

Is it better to call it a style?The large-calibre cannon on the top of the plane makes the overall shape feel quite different, but somewhere similar.

“What do you think?”

Elma keeps her eyes on the unfamiliar flotilla of ships lining the harbor block.What do you think of this? I mean, do you think the Red Flag might have something to do with that fleet of Red Flag Bandits? That's what it means.

"Well, maybe you're just being too nervous.But you better be on your guard.There are words underneath the lampstand. "

"Underneath the lampstand, is it dark... if so, it's bold."

"It's like selling a fight to the Imperial Aerospace Force."Your liver will be sedentary. "

The Reedfill system was the first system to wipe out the Cosmic Bandits in a Red Flag Kill operation conducted by the Imperial Space Force.I don't think it's normal to think that there are cosmic thieves in the main colony of such a system, but cosmic thieves are basically people with flying thought circuits.It doesn't matter what you do.

May

“Yes, I have scrutinized the last two weeks of security-related information in the Reefill Prime Colony and in the Leafill system, and it does not appear to be causing any major problems.We have not discovered any signs of deception at this time.Security figures seem to be rising after the sweep. ”

I see.

There is no information that would cause anxiety.Nothing. I just can't get rid of the bad feeling.

Your face is still steep, isn't it?

"I have a bad feeling about this."I feel the signs of a huge hassle. "

"Ahh... that's a bad one, isn't it?"

"That's a bad one." Be more careful than usual. ”

Elma sighs as she smiles bitterly.I don't even like it and I don't have a bad feeling about it, do I?



Mimi was asked to remain on the ship and to proceed with the request to descend to Leafil IV Theta.

This time, we landed at a large airport belonging to the Rosé clan.Unfortunately, there wasn't enough room for the Black Lotus to dock, but Krishna said it could land without any problems.I was able to use the General Port Facility that I used to descend, but over there, the Minfa and Grades might be pushing me.I would like to keep my distance from the Grades and Minfa clans, as my purpose this time is to visit the Will Rose clan, which is part of the Rosé clan.

Are they all right?

"It won't be a problem for you if you keep it in your pocket."The shields are up, and there are combat bots in case they break the shields and bleach the outer shell. "

"I am also constantly monitoring the condition of the Black Lotus."

Today, Black Lotus' home security is still perfect.Especially now that I may be targeted by the red flags, so I'm acting with caution at about 50% more than usual.I want you to know that I'm not alone with Elma to show my face to the mercenary guild, but I want you to know where I'm accompanying May.

"I don't think the colony looks much different."

That's right.

From Black Lotus to the Mercenary Guild, I walked around the port area.Many ships are docked now, but the change in appearance is not particularly vibrant in the port area.As I thought, the anchored fleet is not the kind of merchant fleet that brought in a lot of merchandise.

"It feels like you have a good sense of discipline."I kind of look like a soldier. "

"You're right, Elma-sama.Many people are looking at us, but no one seems to be making a noise. ”

"Looks like a soldier. That's why it feels so dirty."

The people who were using their army-style coordinated tactics to ambush the big ships were all over my mind.Whether it's related to the Imperial Space Force or the Federation of Bereberems, I don't want to get involved much.

"It looks like you're communicating something."I couldn't intercept it in an instant, but I think I sent some kind of signature. ”

"Uheh... I'm getting an increasingly unpleasant feeling.Let's get this over with and get back to it. "

We went out of our way to expose ourselves in such a dangerous situation, to see how the fleet would react.Could it be that this was a bit of a risky approach?But if you don't know how the other person will react, it's hard to decide how to deal with it.

Should I have been stuck in Black Lotus?

“I don't know. At least it was good to know they were interested in us.”

"Let's do what we think."

After a short walk, I managed to enter the Mercenary Guild building without being interrupted by anyone in particular.The effect of a massive sweep without a cosmic thief seemed to leave the guild with a lazy atmosphere.

You noticed us at the entrance, and the female staff of the elf who was almost free at the reception shone their eyes.

Welcome!

Welcome? Is there a messenger shop or something?

"It's probably the first time I've been told to join a mercenary guild..."

Elma and I went to the reception desk where the female staff of the elf was waiting for us with a blurry smile on Nikoniko's face.By the way, May is following us with a completely indefinite expression.It seems that there are no comments in particular.

"No, I haven't seen anyone for the last few days."

Are you okay, this branch?

"It's like half a bureau, so it's okay, right?"Is that why you don't have a job? "

"That's right. The merchant ships that were stranded in the sweep about four days ago have all left, so I haven't even asked for a merchant ship escort."The Sky Bandit lurks with a refreshing ringtone. "

As she said that, the female staff shrugged her shoulders.

The surrounding systems have been wiped out, so there won't be any inflows.

In a few moments, the merchant ships that left will come back together, so I think it will be lively again.

"I see. So, are those the mercenaries waiting in the port?"

"That's right. It's a group of mercenaries named Crimson Lance."The leader is a gold trunker, isn't he? ”

"Gold Ranker, better than Elma."

Ugh, I don't know.

Elma's eyes are kicking my shin.I love it. Well, it's only natural that a leader who leads a fleet of lone wolves and a fleet of lone wolves can climb the ranks at a different speed.

Well, I don't know what percentage of our achievements were obtained in the right way.

You suspect Crimson Lance?I don't have any proof, but I doubt it.It's too convenient to be anywhere else.Everything is perfect under the pretext of being here, or the title of the Mercenary Corps led by the Gold Rankers.It would be suspicious to think that such a perfect being would happen to be on my way, which is loved by trouble."I'm sure my thoughts are completely paranoian, but from what I've been through so far, I can't help but think..."

Ah, the rumored Goldranker just arrived.

Turning to the gaze of the elf's female staff, there was a powerful beauty who could follow the strong man from left to right.

She's a flashy woman. Magenta pink hair stands out anyway.The outfit consists of a shoulder blouse, a corset skirt and a two-piece laser gun on the waist.Even though the clothes around me are sci-fi ticks, the clothes of only that woman are normal... it looks like a resident of the fantasy world.Except for the one that was hanging down at my waist.

"Fufu...?"

They also look at me with entangled gazes like they're stepping on me.I felt like I was being identified as prey by a snake or something.

"I didn't expect to see a celebrity in this place?"You're Captain Hiro, aren't you? "

"No, I don't know you."

"Haha, I think I'm selling my name there, too."Well, I'm sure it's not as bad as you are. "

The woman took a step forward and raised herself with a confident expression.

"My name is Captain Marie. Just like you, you're a mercenary with a reputation for cosmic thief hunting.Sometimes called "Lucky Ripper" or "Marie."

"Thank you for your courtesy." As you already know, Captain Hiro.You don't have to shake hands, do you? "

I instinctively returned my gaze to Captain Marie, who stared at me with a smirk.

This is my enemy.
