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

Sitting on a large sofa set up in a wide resting space, I stroke the head of the rattling Elma on my lap and collect information using a small information terminal.We've decided which system to use for the gateway, but we haven't decided how to act in that system yet.

"What are you looking at?"

"Hmm? A list of tech companies with buildings in the Windus system."

While doing so, Elma looked up at my face with her dizzy eyes, and she showed me the screen of the small information terminal, but Elma leaned her arms to the side and gently stared at me.

"I'm putting me on my lap, but I don't think it would be right to pull down a small information terminal instead of me."

Wow, it's so cute.

What do you mean, it's a bit embarrassing?

While stroking Elma's head, which sharpens her lips, she throws a small information terminal to the side.It seems like it's a very sweet mode today, so let's go out with it.

"Well, in fact, Elma has been very careful."Let's do a full service today. "

"Yeah, that's fine, that's fine."

Elma is cute with a flippant and satisfying expression.Now, why should I do it? Well, I've got plenty of time, and I don't think I'll ever try to do this, especially if I'm trying to do it.

Play a holo video recording the landscape and environmental sound of the forest with a holo display that slightly dims the proof of the resting space by playing a small information terminal.

"... some kind of jijibaba choices." Even the moss seems to grow. "

Okay, well then, let's flush the recommended death metal.

"Stop it."

By the way, Mimi has a variety of musical tastes, so she doesn't just listen to metal and rock.From my point of view, I think there is a lot of strange music, but I also think this is because Mimi's sensitivity is quite unique.

"Otherwise, it would be good if you could relax."This is the most luxurious way to spend your time without doing anything in particular. ”

I think so.

After that, I spent some time flirting with Elma.Elma, who is so sweet, is really cute.



We've been waiting for a few days and are finally able to travel to our destination, the Windus system.

How did you want to spend the last few days?I had a lot of fun aboard the Black Lotus.I've been watching out for you here.I've been stretching my wings for a long time.

Leave that aside, the Windus system is the largest shipyard system in the Empire, with a mega-sized shipyard located close to the Imperial Capital.The Imperial Air and Space Force Operations Command is also located in the Windus system, which is one of the Vice Capitals of the Graccan Empire in both military and economic terms.

Geography - the universe, but first of all, this system has many asteroid belts and resource planets that calculate abundant mineral resources. In addition, there are many systems that produce mineral resources and rare metals that serve as various catalysts in the surrounding systems that are connected to the hyperpalene, and there are many planets that can be habited.It was relatively close to the Imperial City, and it seemed that development had progressed.

"Hmm, military operations headquarters..."

Murmuring while looking at the system information of the destination that is displayed on the holodisplay in the resting space.

Will I see you again?

It's not strange to be timing.

Mimi and Elma, who were sitting on the same couch that I was sitting on and watching the same footage while lying down, also showed up with a bitter smile and a shrug on their shoulders.

When it comes to what we're talking about, it's certainly Colonel Serena.You really have something to do with her, don't you?The other day, she was also in charge of the Red Flag Bandit Sweep operation, and a few weeks after the operation ended.It is not a strange time to report to the General Command and submit a report, or to maintain and resupply the fleet.

"Well, I can't help worrying about it now."When I met you, I just thought I'd see you again... "

“Yeah, I'm sure we'll meet.”

I have a feeling about that, right?

I wonder how many times this exchange has happened.

Really, why do we and Colonel Serena face each other so many times in this vast universe?When you get here, don't feel truly destined.Well, it's not like we're supposed to meet again this time.

"So, in a sense, this time, you're the main character."Do you have eyes on the ship you're going to get? "

"Hmm, some of them."But ultimately, it's Hiro's decision, isn't it? "

"Oh, well, that's true.I also have a certain policy, but I often don't know if I have to go there. "

"That's true." Tina and Whiskey are here now, and I'd like to hear their views on maintenance. "

I see. I'm studying too, but honestly, I'm still refreshed.

"When it comes to ships, specs aren't the only thing."Because the weight balance of the aircraft, the position of the center of gravity, and the arrangement of the thrusters also change the usability.Well, it's important for Mimi to simulate various ships in the simulator, but if she gets used to it, she'll have to fly the actual plane. "

There are a number of reasons to visit the Windus system this time, but the main objective is to oversee a new ship for Elma.

I'd like to get a ship ready for Mimi anyway, but the hangers on this ship can only hold two small ships.If we expect Mimi to drive a ship in the future, we may have to consider replacing the mother ship.Well, that's not right now either.

But it's not just the ships that are going to procure this time, right?

"And lightweight power armor."Honestly, I don't want to do that anymore... but it's not like there won't be any more. "

Descending to a terraforming planet, memories of living creatures and biological weapons come back to life in a terrible environment.If it wasn't for the sword, it would be difficult to defeat it in white soldiers.But under the circumstances, it was only me and Commander Serena (at the time) who could descend and slash.That's why we have biological weapons on top of a terrible environment, but don't wear sword power armor and come live!I don't mean to be insane. I won't do it again.

I'd like to swear that, but there's no real chance of getting into the same situation again.There was also room for money and power armor, so I had to get some power armor that I could use my sword in case I had to wear it.

However, I don't know if there is actually a power armor that matches my needs.The aristocrats, basically known as white-bladed aristocrats, strengthen their bodies with advanced biotechnology and cybernetics, so few of them are equipped with power armor to restrict body movement.The Power Armor Armor doesn't stop the mono-sword from attacking the sword used by the aristocrats with a single-molecule blade.

I wish I had something good, but I don't know.

It's harder to be alive than badly wearing power armor.

Hiro-sama could be there, right?

”I'm not such a surprised person... no, I can't deny it”

If I stop breathing, the flow of time will slow down, or if I am surprised to demonstrate my mysterious ability to accelerate only my time, I feel that it is quite impossible for me to be human.Recently, I felt that I was beginning to observe unpleasant feelings and dangers at my instinctive level.

I don't know, a level up?Should I say open status or something?

Master, the gateway will be moving soon.

"Roger that. I'll take care of the pilot."

Yes, I'll take care of it.

The screen of the holo display showing information about the Windus system has been switched, showing images of a giant gateway.Hmm, that's as big as it gets.It was comparable to the Mother Crystal I had defeated before.No, bigger? I don't know. Anyway, it's big.

I'm going to start breaking in.

Light collects between a pair of giant structures, the gateways, and creates something like a spatial distortion.It seems to be a kind of wormhole that is artificially created and controlled.I couldn't understand the fine theory at all, but for now, I could travel thousands of light years away in an instant through the distortion of that space.I don't know what it is, but I can use it anyway, Yoshi!

Along with other ships traveling to the Windus system, Black Lotus enters the artificial wormhole created by the Gateway.

Let's go to the new heavens.
