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

We're about to enter the satellite orbit of Leefil IV.

"The target is a general port facility in the Minfa clan."When you enter the atmosphere, be especially careful of satellite orbits and attacks from outside. "

Eye Iser

Instructing May to take control of the ship in the Black Lotus cockpit, I was scrutinizing the data picked up by various Black Lotus sensors while waiting to spawn in the Krishna cockpit at any time.

You're here, aren't you?

There you are.

There you are.

Similarly, Elma and Mimi, who were closely scrutinizing the sensor's information, spoke up at the same time as me.Black Lotus sensors show the shadow of a small ship belonging to a mercenary guild that is not part of the Starfleet movement in satellite orbit at high speed.It appears to be a scout ship belonging to Crimson Lance.

Of course, May has found what we're looking for.There is no place to hide, and there is no way to hide your existence if you have to reopen in satellite orbit.

Maybe it's a fast scout specializing in electronic warfare?

As far as the shape goes, it's kind of like that.

Can you tell from the shape?

"To a certain extent. Even though the aircraft is small and light, there are two main engines, and the number of posture control thrusters is small. This is a straight airplane characteristic that does not anticipate melee fighting - that is, it rushes to the right place very fast, and if anything happens, it will quickly escape."But there are many unnatural protrusions all over the plane, right?That's an additional sensor array. "

The radomes are almost all the same in shape. They're easy to see.

Starfleet ships are generally protected by shields, but if delicate sensors are exposed as they are, there is a high probability of failure.That's why the existence of a radome to protect the sensors is essential - if we add an additional sensor array, the radome to protect them will grow bumpy and slightly disfigured on the surface of the ship.

I thought it was a way to keep you off guard, but for now, no one is likely to attack us.

I see. Well, if we set it up here, we'll have the Starfleet forces guarding it in geostationary orbit rushing in.

But if you're going to shoot us down with any gesture, it's just a trick, isn't it?

"If you're prepared to throw everything away and stab me."But how do you intrude into the orbit of a satellite, that plane? "

"Huh? Maybe an unexpectedly formal system military security auxiliary mission."

"Oh, do you have that hand?"

Maybe that's why Marie was in the mercenary guild yesterday.I have a high-speed reconnaissance plane that specializes in electronic warfare capabilities, but would you like to use it to support a defense mission for Leafy IV?Maybe he brought it through the mercenary guild.For now, if we set the price low by trying it out, the Starfleet might come up with a proposal.Especially now, right after I allowed the Star Thieves to attack me twice, I think I wanted to improve my efficiency by striking anything I could.

“I didn't feel like I was being tracked down by a leafy prime colony, and that might be true.”

"Well, no matter what happens out there, we can't do anything about it."

There's no other way to leave me.

I don't know how much intelligence that ship has, but there's nothing we can do.Black Lotus and Krishna don't have the capability to stealthily descend the planet, so they'll know exactly where we're going.Perhaps Krishna will be able to get us to the Rose Clan.But there's really no way to solve all this.We'll be the ones to ask for your help.

"Master, we have successfully entered orbit.We will enter the atmosphere in two minutes. "

Roger that. I'm sure you'll be fine, but just in case, keep your eyes open.

Yes, I'll take care of it.

Shortly after May replied, Black Lotus began to enter the atmosphere.The heat generated by the adiabatic compression forms a plasma on the other side of the Black Lotus shield and emits intense light.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Isn't that right...?"

I have touched a lot of creations that burn out and explode for various reasons when entering the atmosphere. For me, the feeling of anxiety is better than the feeling that they are beautiful, but I don't want to deny the innocent sensibility of Mimi who can think that they are beautiful with pure eyes.

"Sometimes you show mysterious sensitivity, right, Mimi?"

"Huh!?"

Mimi, who was bathed in heartless words by Elma, said, "Gahn!?"But she had tears in her eyes as she looked like she could hear the sound of the effect.Well, yeah. I couldn't tell Elma the same thing just because I didn't say anything.

"Master, we have completed the entry into the atmosphere.We are decelerating to the objective.It will take about five minutes to arrive. ”

"Understood. Good work controlling the ship." We'll wait in Krishna like this. "

I understand. I'll contact Tina and Whiskey as well. ”

"I asked for it."

Communication with May in the Black Lotus cockpit is dead.Recently, Mei started calling Tina and Whiskey.I used to work for you.Cutting hooks? Well, cutting hooks... feels like after I put my hand on both of them.

"Finally, Elma-san's home... isn't it?"What should I say? "

Isn't it okay to stay at a relative's house?

"It's a home visit for all your relatives!" I'm looking forward to it! "

"It's nothing ordinary, it's normal." When I say a house on a planet, it's not that different from the colony's dwelling. "

"Are you sure?"

"It's annoying, so stop saying it that way."

Among the Rosé clans who are close to the Empire, the Will Roses family, whose division has become an imperial noble.I suspect he's quite famous, though.In the first place, Elma was the daughter of an aristocrat.As a mercenary, Elma has lived outside the aristocratic society for many years and has a perspective that is quite close to ordinary people, but her original level of living is high.

If you think about it, you have received an access application to the hatch of Krishna, so I will accept it.Then, after a short time, I heard a noisy voice.

Don't disturb me!

If you want to get out of my way, go home.

"Why don't you do it!"

"Onee-chan, don't make too much noise."

The younger sister is paying attention to the free sister who is making a fierce noise when she enters the room.Yeah, it's the usual sight.

"I mean, brother, why do you know the classic story of a dwarf in Shitamachi?"

"Is this a dwarf's classic story..."

"I don't know, it's amazing to do it without knowing it."

Well, it's like a kind of style beauty.I was a little surprised that the same story existed in the Dwarves.

”Fufufu, it's finally time for the additional sub-sheets to blow out the fire.”

Isn't spraying fire in the cockpit bad for the rocks?

As you discuss this, you begin to sit down by unfolding the sub-sheet that your sister modified.Tina remodeled it a long time ago so that it could seat two people in a subseat that was meant to be used for one person.Seat belts are also firmly in place, and it seems that the intensity is not brightened, according to Tina.

I'll be landing soon. Please be careful of the impact when landing. "

Roger that. Both of you, fasten your seatbelts.

“I'm done,” he said.

It's okay.

The hull slightly rocked shortly after the two responded.Yeah, that's a perfect landing.

Now, when May arrives, we'll head to our destination.
