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

I went to the shop introduced by Ernst's brother-in-law.

Welcome back.

We were greeted by an elderly man dressed like a butler. The atmosphere in the store is more like a luxury tailor than a power armor shop. The floor is carpeted with a calm color, and there is not a drop of chill on the carpet. There are a lot of wooden items in the store, or at least the condition that looks like it, and there are not a lot of holo displays in the store.

Well, even if it's common, this is the only shop I've ever set foot in. The gun shop I had entered had a large number of holo displays displaying a wide variety of products from various manufacturers, so the visually calm scene in this shop seems rather unsettling.

"Excuse me, but you're a first-time customer, aren't you?"

"Oh, I have a referral."

That said, I operated a small information terminal and sent the data from the letter of introduction that Ernst's brother-in-law gave me. A man who thinks he has received the data receives the data on a tablet and confirms the details.

"I see, the house of Viscount Will Rose"

That's what the clerk said-- no, the owner? He turned his gaze to Clinton and Elma. Elma's gaze shrugged her shoulders.

I know you, Captain Hiro.

Hmm?

"Even in this Windus system, the previous match was broadcast in real time." There were also customers who would use us heavily in the match. "

I see, then did you do something bad?

In the end, I won all the games in that match. In other words, it seems that the customer who will be the heavy yang will be defeated either by me or by other tournament contestants.

"It's a result of a fair fight, of course." More than that, I admire you. ”

"I see. Well, let's get down to business by saying hello." As you know, I'm a rude mercenary. I don't like elegant worldly stories. "

"I understand." Ladies, please come this way. "

Having said that, he was guided to a business space a little further away. Compared to the Imperial Castle, it fell a few steps into the boulder, but it was still a high-end business space. The Shipyard lounge was luxurious, too, but it's a little different. The theme is up-to-date and comfortable, but it seems to be upscale and antique.

“When you come to our store, don't you need to explain what you are dealing with?”

When he saw that we had settled down on the comfortable sofa sitting inside, he sat down on the chair opposite him and asked. I shake my head to his question. [M]

"No, the only Power Armor I know is for regular infantry." I have no idea what power armor for nobles is like, so I'd appreciate it if you could explain it to me. "

I understand.

He said that and nodded, manipulating his tablet with his fingertips. Then, a holo display rises on an antique table that only looks like wood. It just looks like a wooden table, but it seems to be a built-in holo-display table that looks just like that.

“We're dealing with bespoke power armor. We are proud that it is our job to deliver one-of-a-kind products that perfectly match the physique and needs of our customers.”

I see. But it's expensive, isn't it?

I said that as a joke, but he nodded with a serious expression.

"Of course, the price will increase." I'll give you at least 200,000 Enel. "

”Hmm... well, that's not a lot of money, is it?”

I was vigilant and lost money. When I was told that this was from 2 million Enel, it was going to be a boulder, but if it was from 200,000 Enel, no matter how many functions and performances I wanted, it would not be ten times that. In response to my remarks, the elderly man who looked like the shopkeeper rolled his eyes.

"This is also a person who makes money." Besides, how expensive is it compared to a ship? "

“Well, that's right. If you were to fully modify even the lowest class of ships, it would lightly blow up ten times that amount.”

"What is it anyway..."

It seems that men can't help but be surprised by what Elma and I have to say. Even the best in class with commercially available power armor, 100,000 Enel is hard to reach. If it is a used product with a mold drop, it will not be 10,000 Enel if it is bad. Considering the situation in the power armor market, at least 200,000 Enel is certainly expensive. You can buy two of the latest high-performance power armor if you just put it out, or four or five if it's of standard quality. You wouldn't go as far as a platoon if you were obsessed with quality, but you could get more than ten pieces of Power Armor.

"So don't worry about the money." That's why I'm asking for the best equipment. "

"I understand." This is going to be an unexpected big deal. "

Having said that, he gave a really happy smile.

“As a basic feature, it's no different than regular Power Armor. In other words, it gains armor to protect the physical body, which cannot be said to be tough. It also gains the power to move around fully after wearing that armor. In some cases, you may choose a jump unit, optical camo function, or a fixed weapon to gain firepower.”

As he manipulated the tablet, various designs of power armor appeared on the holo display unfolded on the table. Every Power Armor looks much slimmer than a commercial Power Armor.

It's quite slim compared to commercial products.

"It's made to fit the wearer's body." Commercially available Power Armor can be worn without any problems, even if there are some differences in stature, but these bespoke Power Armor will not work. It's completely dedicated to that person. "

“I see. It's going to be hard to put on if you change your shape.”

The most likely scenario is when you become fat. Well, I don't think I'd have to worry about that if I had exercised as hard as I've ever done. Even in the growing season, you won't grow taller because it's already over.

The aristocrats don't change much from their ideal figure, so don't worry about that, right?

Benefit from the enhancement treatment......

"... Hiro-sama, I'm starting to want to undergo a little intensification treatment"

Mimi muttered as she looked around Elma's slim stomach. Mimi is working hard on this. At first, it was difficult to push up five times, but now I do it lightly twenty times. The overall exercise intensity was unlike anything else in the beginning. Mimi wants to lose more weight, but I think it's fine as it is. Even if it's a little more meaty... no, let's put aside Mimi's body shape for now.

Of course, you're expecting a battle with swords for aristocrats, right?

“Yes, we are working to improve the wearing comfort using the latest technology to avoid interfering with the movement of each joint. Do you still use a sword?"

"That's the point." I have power armor for battle, but it's not good for swords. Mainly in the context of precision operability "

"Certainly, power-oriented commercial armor can't handle sword moves that require delicate movements." I'm sure you'll be pleased with the armor we make. ”

You sound pretty confident. What would you do if you didn't spend a lot of money on this?

“What will the order flow look like?”

First, we'll determine the rough specifications, then measure and measure.

Measurement, anyway?

“Yes, we need to pre-trace your combat movements and put in your armor motion data to assist you. Doing so will increase your armor's assist efficiency.”

I see.

I don't seem to know so much. Well, if that armor is going to be more usable, I'll do the gauging and everything. Whatever it is, we're going to have to figure out the specifications first.
