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

“Thank you, and we will do our best to deliver it promptly.”

“Yes, I would expect a better job than a faster one.”

"I understand." I'll make sure there are no deficiencies. ”

Having said that, Mr. Autumn returned to the booth with a stunned face. This time, Elma's ship, Antrion, cost a total of 13 million Enel. It is a medium-sized ship, so it is considerably cheaper than Black Lotus. How much does it cost to build a standard medium-sized ship? No, you can use your military equipment to solidify your body and get a lot of value for the price.

The breakdown is as follows: the main unit price is 5 million yen, the conversion cost to high-grade military armor is 4 million yen, the conversion cost to military high-power thrusters is 1 million yen, the military high-power laser beam emitter and other weapons are 1.5 million yen, and other life-support equipment, medical pods and interior modifications are 1 million yen.

Along the way, Black Lotus weapons and generators decided to switch from regular distribution to high-power military products. In this case, the number of conversions was high, and the conversion of expensive generators resulted in an average of 12 million and the same amount as Elma's Antrion was blown up.

Antrion was a high output product that the generator was dedicated to from the beginning, and the amount of Gravity Jammer and High Capacity Capacitor was included in the unit price, so it was quite cheap. Instead, it was decided to submit the operational data to Idal Starway, but it was not troublesome because May would do it. We'll have to make up for that next time.

"It was somehow decided, but didn't you have to consider other companies' products?"

That's right, but I wish I could show you unique equipment that I've never seen or heard of.

“Worst of all, if you can't use it, you can sell it and buy another ship again.”

"Eh... is that okay?"

Mimi was puzzled by Elma's remarks without her body or lid.

"I think that if you sell it to us roughly here, it will probably be a piece of equipment that is also known to other companies in the same industry to some extent. It's probably not in circulation, and it's pretty suspicious whether it's in circulation given its nature.”

Perhaps special purpose military equipment... for irregular combat units?

"It's a gear to make sure we don't miss the target." It could be for Lieutenant-Colonel Serena's fleet of space thieves, or it could be for the Imperial Navigation and Space Forces to create a dedicated division after the success of Lieutenant-Colonel Serena's fleet of space thieves. ”

"You mean the special equipment for this new department?" Well, maybe that's impossible. "

I don't know how Lieutenant Colonel Serena's Anti-Theft Independent Unit is evaluated within the Imperial Air Force, but as far as we know, it seems to be winning a series of battles and achieving more than a certain amount. A fleet of fleets operating on the same concept, a single division that brings them together? A legion? Maybe you'll start an army. Gravity Jammer has plenty of potential for that kind of equipment.

And I think it makes sense to supply equipment to mercenaries who are targeting bandits as their main target in order to get operational data efficiently. I can only deduce what the intentions of Idal Starway and the Imperial Aerospace Force behind it are, but I don't think they are far away.

"Anyway, if you have some familiar equipment, you can sell it." I wonder if Ideal would buy it for me. "

"If you give it to another company, I might be able to collect it." Well, it's a useful piece of equipment, no matter what you think, so I think it's okay to turn a blind eye to the ship's performance. ”

Elma shrugged her shoulders when she said that. In fact, Gravity Jammer and Large Capacity Capacitors are the only features of Antrion's performance that can be described as mediocre as a medium-sized combat ship. There are more firepower, faster legs, hotter defenses, and more scalable ships. However, the Gravity Jammer is an advantage that is difficult to replace, and the ship's performance is not enough to complain about. There's firepower there, there's fast legs, there's defense.

Although it is poorly scalable due to fixed equipment with low scalability, it is not a drawback given the relationship between special equipment and trade-offs.

"In fact, I think it's decided by Antrion." Honestly, it's too convenient for us, or it's too much to match what we're looking for, and it's creepy. "

I agree with you.

Well, isn't there anything you can do for your bad luck or your destiny?

"Does that mean that you always get into trouble and have this kind of advantage?"

"I wonder if it's because of my imagination...?"

Unintentionally frowns at certain spiritual remarks of the mechanic sisters. That means, on the contrary, that after picking up such good fortune, the reversal comes? I'm too afraid of what might happen after such a convenient event. Do you hate Krishna or Black Lotus?

No, it's not an abomination if you're locked up. I can't refuse my fleshly desire.

I've got a better idea about the ship, so next time I'll look for Hilo's lightweight power armor?

“Still, I think we should get ready for our stay, because Black Lotus is going to keep it for renovation.”

Yes, that's okay.

"Well then, let's arrange for packing and a hotel!" I'll take care of the hotel! ”

Mae nods to my words, and when she hears about the hotel arrangement, Mimi starts to think that she can do her job.

"Ah, but if I could, I'd like to make it easier for you to go to work at our company."

"Onee-chan, you're so ambitious..."

Leave it to me!

Mimi and Tina start picking up the hotel while grabbing hold of it, and the whiskers start to peek into the tablet. May was still standing with a clear face, and Elma had a somewhat difficult expression.

What's the matter?

"No, I don't know... if you think about it again, it's expensive shopping."

That's right.

I won't deny it, so I'll nod honestly. The price of 13 million Enel is as high as Elma says. To be honest, I don't know how long it will take to make a good price. Considering the running cost, it will take quite a long time. Still, fighting with two Krishna and Black Lotus ships should be safer and more profitable. With three ships at a time, it will be easier to not only hunt down thieves, but also make money on some request. It was an expensive purchase, but I don't think this purchase was a waste.

"It was Hiro who paid for it, but my ship..."

That's right.

"I don't know what to say... but how do I return it?"

"Give it back? What? A boat? Why?"

Elma's mind is filled with question marks in a way she doesn't understand. What the hell are you talking about?

"No, it's not a ship... I don't know what to call it?" Look, I didn't return the money because Hiro saved me after all... "

That said, while Elma had a difficult face, she let her hand stand as if she was expressing an unchallenged emotion. What is it? Are you up to it?

”Hmmm... well, I don't care if you didn't return the money or anything like that right now.”

"I don't care about that..."

"My wish is to be with Elma... somehow, it's not as funny as it used to be." You're going to continue your mercenary life, aren't you? I'm satisfied with that. That's why I am fully satisfied that I don't care about the money or repaying my debt. "

They look at each other and roar. Maybe Elma and I have the same look on our faces.

"What? What's with the advanced flirtation?"

I wonder if it's altitude?

"This is a stay. I'll keep an eye on it..."

The field is noisy. And why is Mimi twitching her eyes as if she were unifying her mind?

"Anyway, don't worry too deep there, as usual."

As usual.

No, you're welcome to be a little gentle, or rather sweet.

”Puu... if you feel like it”

That said, Elma laughed and kissed me on the cheek with her face closed. The back is annoying, but it seems that my feelings have somehow been conveyed, so Yoshi! All you have to do is pray for me to feel comfortable. Elma is in a good mood.
