I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary
# 312 self-defense and penthouse
In the meantime, I asked if it was the place where I lived now, or if it was a hotel.
“This colony had an outpost of the Holy Empire of Verzalus, so I stayed there.”
"Stay... since when?"
"It was only yesterday that this body reached this colony."
Kugi-chan faked her tail in a flirtatious way. I see, was it yesterday? That means you got to this colony at about the same time as we did, and you found me right away, right?
Just in case, I asked May to take the back of it. How can you take it off the back so easily? In other words, if this was actually a mercenary, it would do something about it. Mercenaries may track down criminals operating across systems in their official capacity - mainly gangsters - so they can access personal and security information such as colony entrant and exit records through cumbersome procedures in their mercenary guilds.
"I see... what should we do?" Would you like to stay here? "
"If it's not my Lord's fault, I want you to put me by my side."
"If you have any luggage, you can bring it, Umm." I'll take care of the procedures. "
Is it a penthouse, not so much a Presidential Suite in terms of the hotel's rank? Well, I rent out the room on the top floor, so there's no space for one more guest. Tell the hotel receptionist and pay an extra fee and they'll figure it out, maybe.
"Thank you, my lord!" Well then, I'll be there as soon as I can. "
"Yeah, I need you to accompany me as an escort."
I understand.
Mei nodded and followed Kugi-chan. In the meantime, have you hit any of the hands you seem to be able to hit now?
……
"Jiu....."
Elma is silent, and Mimi bothers to stare me in the eye. I guess they both didn't like Kugi-chan much. This is a difficult future. Well, I guess I'll keep following you here. I don't care who I am.
"I'll tell you what, but I didn't fully believe her." Honestly, I suspect that 70-80% is fraud and the Beauty Bureau. "
What? Kugi-chan is cute, so I thought you'd accepted it.
"If I say it's not true, it's a lie. If you're told such heavy stories as disposing of stones, it's bad for you to wake up."
"That's true, isn't it? Even so, I think that's a bit cowardly."
I nodded in agreement with Whisker's words, smiling bitterly. Are you really impressed, or is it such an act? The lacrimal gland was loose, that girl.
"... then, what about the remaining 20-30%?"
Mimi asks, sharpening her lips. She's so cute.
"Velzarus, the Holy Empire itself is too familiar, isn't it?" Even though I don't know when and where her "supernatural existence" will appear, it is impossible to think that a child like Kugi-chan will be trained and dispatched for that purpose. Too inefficient. But the Versace Holy Empire, with its thriving psychic technology, could do what it can't. I don't think I can say that I developed my strange bad luck and controlled it without the power of futuristic prediction or the power to control my destiny. "
"Isn't that like watching too many holo movies?"
"Maybe so." But maybe not. I'm going to wait and see for a while to get the back of it. Assuming it's a scam or a beauty bureau, it's easier that way. If it's all a lie, it's just about throwing her out. "
I said that and shrugged my shoulders. No matter how cute the opponent is, I don't want to welcome the kind of person who comes close to deceive me.
What would you do if you didn't?
"That means that she was a shrine maiden sent from the real Empire of Velzarus." When her mission is to live close to me, well, it's necessary to accept her.... "
I looked at Clinton, Elma, and Mimi, but their reaction... oh, other than that, Elma's expression was more of a grievance than a grievance. Neither Mimi's dissatisfaction was dissatisfaction, nor her perfect rejection.
You don't object, do you?
”Whether it's Hiro's idea or sympathy, if you're saved by that kind of judgment, you have your present self, right...”
"You can't say anything, can you?"
"No, I'd like you to tell me if you're dissatisfied." Somehow, if you hoard it, it won't be a busy thing. "
It is a common story to hear that such accumulated dissatisfaction leads to the breakdown of relationships. I don't want to learn from such cases and imitate them like I would if I could.
"That's true, but I believe in Hiro's final decision." Try it, what is it? "
"That's right. Whatever her identity is, it's important that she does it well with us." First impressions may not be so easy to mask, but I want you to communicate with her for now. ”
Roger that. It's not like that, naturally.
"Ok. Tina and Whisker..."
"We don't have a problem."
Tina waves her hand fluttering, and Whiskers nod next to her. These two didn't seem to have any negative feelings towards Kugi-chan from the beginning.
We're here, right? In the first place, do you want to go with Sister Elma and Mimi?
"By the way... I don't mean to do that, but..."
"That's all I need." Well, why don't you just leave this conversation alone and go to your room? I have to unload it as well. "
"Nnnnnh..."
I was made to talk about Yaya. Well, after all, I don't want to thank the two of you for trying to be convenient to me, because I'm talking about not being chaotic when I'm dealing with everyone on the boat... but I think you should take responsibility somewhere. I walked behind the ladies' circle, bothering my head about what was going on.
Before going up to the room, he told me that there would be one more guest at the front desk - he asked if he would bring more women in yet - and paid an extra fee before using the private elevator to go up to the penthouse.
"Hee, it's beautiful and spacious, so it's good."
Elma said that and looked around the room in a good mood. Yeah, it's kind of big. The furniture is a little luxurious and seems cozy. One step up from the suite, this is the penthouse apartment.
“I still feel uncomfortable staying in a place like this.”
"Ahh, I can see that." What are you doing? Bourgeois? "
"A bourgeoisie... well, I know what you mean."
Mimi, Tina, and Whiskey are overwhelmed by the size and opulence of the room. I would say that I am in this group, but with this luxury, the price per person is about 5,000 Enel per week. Even if Kugi-chan is included, our number is seven, so the total weekly accommodation fee is 35,000 Enel.
When I used to stay in Sierra III in the resort system, it was a two-week course of 560,000 Enel for four people, so the cost of a week's stay per person was 70,000 Enel. It was twice the total accommodation fee for one person.
But it's cheaper than playing in a resort system.
"That's... I see."
"Wee, the bourgeoisie. The bourgeoisie is here. I'm talking about a resort system."
"Well, oniisan is a mercenary who makes a lot of money, so if anything, he's definitely rich, right?"
No, you're all rich now, aren't you?
"... I made you do it"
"I forgot..."
The two of them received 30% of the proceeds from the sale of the capture aircraft, or 3.6 million Enel. That's 1.8 million Enel per capita. It is an amount that cannot be used up in some luxury. I bought a Starfleet vessel and blew it up as soon as I got a handful of them.
"What am I supposed to do with taxes, huh?" Is this going to be a side job? But since the secondment to my brother is the company's instruction, is it going to be a reward obtained in the course of business? "
"I think we should talk to the company a little bit about that... no, maybe the tax office?"
Somehow the two of them started talking about getting a headache. In my case, I have senior citizenship of the Graccan Empire, but I was a mercenary before that... yeah? Do I have to pay taxes because I'm a citizen? Let's ask May later. Mercenaries are a bit specialized in their profession, so I don't know exactly what the tax system is like. It was true that the amount of remuneration was deducted from the beginning, and it was said that there was no tax on the bounty on the Space Bandit, but I didn't know how to combine it with the senior citizenship of the Graccan Empire. I'm afraid of the tax office. We have to protect ourselves. Mae will be able to go through the customs process in a flash, so I'm relieved.
Come on, don't be so flustered, unload yourself, too
"Hey. Well, I don't have enough baggage to unpack."
It is one of the storage bags. I even doubted whether it was necessary to unload the product. Mimi looks like a big load, but I can't help her. Some women say they don't want to be touched by someone close to them, or even by someone of the opposite sex. I'll just keep an eye on it unless you ask me for a hand.
