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

The day after the welcome party. We ate breakfast when we got up and relaxed in the room.

Huh? Last night? I don't know what happened last night, but I slept alone because we were doing something together. I seemed to have told a lot of stories that I shouldn't ask, so I made a gorgeous breakthrough.

Surprisingly few options, lightweight power armor.

That's right, even less when you think about fighting with swords.

I'm doing a lot of research on lightweight power armor while relaxing on the sofa in the living room with Elma, but it's not patchy. Somehow, it doesn't match my demands.

What I want from a lightweight power armor is to maintain the precision and accuracy of the physical abilities of the living body, while strengthening strength and agility, and also ensuring a little more armor - bullet-resistant performance and laser performance - to improve environmental adaptability.

However, in the scope examined, all of them are more than enough in terms of enhancing survivability, agility, and strength, but there is an undeniable sense of one in terms of precision of operation. I don't want to compromise, because precision of movement is the most important factor in wielding a sword - at least for me.

Well, aristocrats don't have to wear power armor.

"That's right..."

The nobility of the Gracchan Empire is basically undergoing strengthening measures to improve their physical abilities. As a result, they don't have to wear Power Armor to gain the strength and agility to surpass adults. Since what they don't have in Power Armor is environmentally adaptable and resilient, an environmentally adaptable suit with some laser performance and a personal shield are sufficient for the nobility to fight.

"We can't make things that don't have demand. Of course not."

"I don't have a body or a lid, but that's what it is." Ah, onee-chan, don't move. "

Tina, who is playing with her hair on the sofa next to her, is shrugging her shoulders and getting angry with her. Sometimes we arrange each other's hairstyles. I hear you're making dumplings over your head today.

And Mimi talks something into her face at a table set up a little further away. I don't think there's anything weird to worry about, but I don't know what we're talking about. Well, you should welcome Mimi's enthusiastic communication with Kugi, who was alert when we first met.

I wonder if I should even receive physical strengthening treatment.

"Well, isn't that what it is?" But if you take it, you won't be able to move for a few months. "

Is it the experience that speaks? Viscount Will Rose's family - in other words, Elma, the daughter of an Imperial nobleman, is actually undergoing physical strengthening treatment. That's precisely why I was stronger than I was with that slender skill. In addition, it seems that the enhancement treatment Elma is receiving is to strengthen her physical abilities and improve her reaction speed, and she has not received any more advanced treatment such as improving the processing speed of the brain as the head of the noble family receives.

In fact, what kind of physical strengthening treatment is that?

"First of all, it can be divided into bionic or cybernetic treatment." Neither procedure is irreversible, and it's the same in the sense of improving physical abilities. "

"I see, but you have your own characteristics, don't you?"

"I'm not familiar with it either, am I?" In general, bionic treatment is inferior to strengthening, but it is less burdensome on the body and easier to maintain. They say that the more you train, the better you will be able to do it. However, it takes time to get used to the body after the treatment, and the neck takes a long time to take the treatment. And cybernetic procedures have a high degree of enhancement, and it's said that you can demonstrate your abilities immediately after the procedure. However, you can't train it differently than strengthening the bionic system. In that case, it is possible to exchange it for a product with higher performance. And because it can't be perfectly maintenance-free, it seems that it takes a lot of time to maintain it. "

I see. Elma is a bionic enhancement, isn't she?

"That's right. In the Empire, bionic enhancements are more prevalent." It seems that replacing it with a machine doesn't suit the aristocrat's taste. "

Elma shrugged her shoulders when she said that. Oh, the Imperial nobles don't like machines, or they're a little quarantined by machine intelligence, or they don't seem to be very good at it. There may be many people who don't like cybernetics getting their bodies close to machines.

When I was talking, Mimi and Kugi, who were talking over there, came to me. Then Mimi sits next to me - on the other side of Elma - and sits next to herself.

What's going on?

Kugi-san said she was worried about Hiro-sama's conversation.

Huh? What is it?

When she turned her gaze to Kugi, who was somewhat scared, she opened her mouth in a frivolous state.

"Um, I heard that you were going to undergo some sort of intensive surgery, so... sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

No, you don't have to worry about it.

While saying that, she turned her gaze to the big moving beast's ears above her head. Well, these ears seem to be better than normal people. Which one sounds better than Elma's Elf ears?

"Mimi-sama told me that I want to improve my physical combat ability and survivability. Is it okay if you are looking for armor?"

"Yeah, that's right. There was nothing I really liked about it, and I was talking about whether it would be possible to receive intensive treatment."

"I see... I don't think I need to talk about what you're trying to do, but I don't think I need to."

"I see...? What's your heart like?"

"Yes, at present, the potential of my body is only being unleashed without being used for anything." If you control it, I think you'll gain more power than wearing this armor. "

"" "Ahh..." "

Not only me, but all of them, except for Mei and Kugi, reacted exactly the same.

"Um...? Did you say something strange about yourself?"

Kugi tilted her neck with anxious expression.

"No, I didn't say anything strange." However, that direction must have been cut off. "

Did you truncate it?

"Yeah, 'cause think about it. It's far too common sense to show off your physical abilities to overwhelm your Power Armor, unleash a mysterious attack that wipes out one of the mountains, and distort lasers and flying bullets to protect you. If you expose yourself like that, you will definitely attract some extra trouble. Then stop stretching in that direction, and I think it's safer to use power armor or something and stay within the limits of common sense."

And when I asked, Kugi nodded, "I see," and thought for a moment, then opened his mouth again.

"I've only heard a little from Mimi about this body armor called Papaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, but as far as I heard it, I think that if the soldiers of these countries could exert their abilities in the same or more than the same or even if they can exhibit their physical abilities. Isn't it something that is said to be out of common sense?"

"Oh, what are you so scared of?"

"If I were you, I would be able to unleash my enemies' strength even when these soldiers are in bundles." If it's too powerful to stand out from the crowd, then maybe it's just a matter of controlling the force with a moderate amount of intensity? ”

”That's... I don't know if that's the case.”

Kugi's pure gaze unexpectedly stretched. I certainly stand out, so I can say that it is against my style to leave the power I can get for such reasons and not hit the best hand. You should use whatever you can. I know, I know.

"I mean○, that's like a super-sa-ya!" I've admired flying○ and shooting waves in the sky with my fantasies! I don't want to be like that in real life! "

"Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...?"

Kugi gave a confused expression. That's right, I don't want to be told this all of a sudden.

"I don't know what this is about, but blowing up one of the mountains is... inefficient." I think it would be much more efficient to disable the enemy with high-intensity mental sensitivity if it wasted potential. ”

"Oops, something much more noisy has come up." What is a high-intensity psycho-sensitivity? "

"It is a technique that places a strong load on the subject's spirit to significantly disturb his concentration, stun him, and destroy the spirit itself depending on the intensity. I think it would be easy for you to affect this entire colony."

"What a mess." I don't want to be like such a poisonous radio wave generator.

"Brother, the direction of the conversation is off." Well, as far as your brother's taste is concerned, it makes sense what Kuki says, doesn't it? Previously, I couldn't stay in the Leafil system for many months because of my training, but if Kugi is going to work with us in the future, will you be able to tell me and try your best? "

"That's right. Power Armor is prepared with Power Armor, its superpowers?" Isn't it a good idea to learn something like that? It's probably not something you would lose if you wore it. "

Other than that, the Dwarf sisters, who are obviously scientists, are enthusiastic about my superhumanization plan. It seems like it's going to be directly opposed to your field.

"Actually, I'm a little interested." Related to Cyonic Technology »

"It's a completely different technology system." If oniisan were to acquire such abilities, I would think there would be some interesting discoveries. "

"Interests first. Don't you worry about me?"

"That's what oniisan's body is all about, isn't it?" Kugi said it. If you say you don't have to tease your body weirdly with intensive treatment, is that okay? "

"Maybe that's true." When I was a little girl, I was given intensive treatment, but after receiving the intensive treatment, my body condition got worse for a while until I got used to it. It's pretty hard, huh? I can't move for at least three months, and it's much more expensive than buying power armor. "

"Grrrr..."

If you can only learn to control that potential and become more secure, what do you gain? In the future, if you talk about Kugi accompanying you, it would be good if you could slow down your training. All I have to do is restrain myself so that I don't get hurt. No problem, right?

"Okay, okay, I'll be positive about your direction." I do not take any physical strengthening measures. I'll get the power armor. I will go according to that policy. "

"I think that's good."

If so, we'll have to find a lightweight power armor that suits Hiro-sama.

That's the problem, isn't it? If there is no good product on the market, can we make it bespoke later? When that happens, I don't know where to start. Ask with the right power armor manufacturer, or think of something else. Hmm.
