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

Well then, how about we measure the motion data?

Various specifications were decided, and the store owner said so, and suddenly the movement stopped. Place your left hand on your left ear and make it look like you're listening to something. Do you have a small radio in your ear or something?

“I'm sorry, it's still too early for your appointment, but it looks like the guest who made the appointment came to the store. Would you mind taking a moment?"

Yeah, of course. It was this one who pushed me for a non-appointment.

“Thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me for a moment.”

The shopkeeper bowed his head, stood up and left the Opportunity Room.

"If I take the motion data from this, I'll just go home." Do you want to do some shopping? "

“Hmm, yeah. I don't have anything special to buy, but it might be a good idea to shop at the window.”

"That's good, window shopping"

”Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

Kugi doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the word "window shopping" at all now, so he tilts his head.

“It's called window shopping, which is the behavior of walking around a store looking for something interesting without a purpose like this. Well, if there was something we liked, we would have bought it on the spot."

I see.

When I talked to the store owner, I noticed that the shopkeeper who had left would come back -- yeah? Like another footstep?

"Excuse me, this customer..."

"Giggle."

Ah...

"... haa"

When I saw the person who showed up with the shopkeeper, I spoke up unexpectedly. Mimi also shouted in amazement and sighed with her hands on her forehead as she reached Elma.

"Don't look at people's faces, what is a rodent? Geez, I don't know."

A blonde red-eyed beauty dressed in a white military uniform and looking down at us in a disgusted arm. He was the first person to get used to seeing it. I feel that the hat I'm wearing is more lavishly decorated than before.

I'm sorry to hear that.

"It's not the first time in a while." It's really nice to meet you. "

"That's right, Commander."

"I became a colonel, not a lieutenant colonel. I don't know if I can raise the rank of a pom-pom like this.

That said, Lieutenant Colonel Serena played with her fingertips on the armor hat that Colonel Serena was wearing with her wrinkles between her brows. It seems that it was not a mistake to see that the hat she was wearing seemed more luxurious than the one she had seen before.

"Congratulations on your promotion. So why is the Colonel here?"

“Do you think there's any other reason to come here than Power Armor? I have a little free time, so if I try to go there early, the shopkeeper will say that he is dealing with a customer who has jumped in. I thought it was unusual to jump into this shop, so I asked him a few questions and he told me that the customer was a mercenary.”

There aren't many mercenaries who need the bespoke power armor of aristocrats to connect to stores like this, right?

"Yes, that's why I asked the shopkeeper to contact me. If you ask me about it, I'll be excited right away....."

Colonel Selena moved her gaze to the other side. It seemed that Kugi was also looking at Colonel Serena, and the two gazes were intertwined.

"Did it increase again...?" Who are you? "

And then Colonel Serena turned her gaze on me like she was looking at garbage.

"No... I don't know... this is it." Well, I have a lot of complicated things, too. "

"It's a complicated situation... well, it's about you, isn't it?"

Stop it. Don't look at me with pity. Stop looking at me like I'm in some weird trouble. I'm going to cry.

“Do you need my help?”

"It's okay for now." There's nothing particularly troubling you. "

"Really? I hope so." By the way, can't you introduce me to that person? "

"Oh, her name is Kugi Seijo. The Shrine Maiden of the Holy Empire of Verzalus has traveled all the way to this Windus system to take care of me.”

……

That's right. I'm only telling the truth, but that's how it works. Even we on the party side haven't been able to swallow the situation well, so from a third party's point of view, it must not completely make sense.

"I wasn't sure. May I ask you to sort out the contents again?”

She's a shrine maiden of the Holy Empire of Verzals, and she says that I'm an amazing being, and she's a professional shrine maiden trained to serve such an amazing being.



What are you talking about? I don't care if you look like this. I don't know what I'm talking about, so I can't explain it well.

"Don't worry about it deeply. Anyway, she seems to be on my side for her own business. Anyway, right now, we're working together to get to know each other better."

"I couldn't understand it at all, but I'll be convinced by that anyway." But is it the Holy Empire of Verzalus? "

With his arms in front of his chest, Colonel Serena turned to Kugi.

“He is a freelance mercenary, but a hero awarded the Silver Sword Winged Assault Medal and the First Star Cross Medal by the Graccan Empire, as well as an honorable viscount of His Majesty the Emperor. Please be aware that if our Empire does not accept anything and takes him to your country, it may develop into a diplomatic issue."

"I understand." This body is only subordinate to my lord. [M] I promise you this will never force you to do anything. "

Kugi also looked back at Colonel Serena with a strange face. Well, for now, her behavior is consistent. The first priority is to stick with me. I'm prepared to entertain you if you come to her country, but I won't force you to.

“Let's remember that. But why did the Holy Empire of Verzalus give you this? I was saying something that I don't really know about."

"Ahhh... what kind of psychic power am I?" Apparently, they have the qualities of. A little like nothing else. It seems to have something to do with it. To be honest, we still don't understand. "

"I see. In other words, the usual troublesome constitution?" You're in a lot of trouble, too, aren't you?

I'm talking about it like other personnel, but some of the trouble is with the colonel, right?

"By the way, did you order a new bespoke armor?" What kind of stuff? "

He suddenly smiled and talked openly...!

Here it is.

Cool!

Elma manipulates the holo display on the table to display the design of the armor I ordered. Colonel Serena smiled bitterly at the sight of the design.

"Another really sharp design... well, it might be you."

What a heroic knight armor for me, isn't it?

Since the ordered armor is of course environmentally adaptable, it is a type of power armor that literally covers the entire body from the top of the head to the toes. The color of the visor is red. I've designed it to look like a ninja on the whole, but I don't think it's going to be passed on to the rest of the world.

Incidentally, with this design, you can choose from a myriad of exterior parts and assemble them yourself. It's almost the same as when I designed May, except for the fact that there are no details such as facial shaping. Apparently, it molds the exterior to suit this design. What matters is the contents, or the power armor itself. When this exterior is stripped away, there is a chassis with artificial muscles and sensors attached to it. Well, the main unit is a chassis, so it looks like we can change the exterior later.

"What do you want with a colonel like that... I wonder if it's about power armor?"

"When I became a Colonel, my parents sent me an armor chassis to celebrate my promotion." I couldn't leave it in the chassis, so I went there to adjust and install the exterior. Oh, by the way, aren't you recording the motion data as well? "

I was planning on doing that.

“That's just fine. Storekeeper, please take the motion data because the two of you will be present. Can you do that?"

“Yes, it is possible, if that's all right.”

"So, there's no need to take it easy, let's do it."

With that, Colonel Serena slapped the sword handle on her waist. No, you're not serious, are you? If they tell me I'm serious, I'll run.
