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

I'm off duty today.

Colonel Serena has been staring me in the face since I left the Armor Shop for the nobles.

I see, I mean, the stance.

"... that's what I'm talking about."

It was a surprisingly honest reaction. Well, it's not the first time she tells us to stand up because she's off duty. I used to bombard Krishna with liquor because I was off duty. As a result, of course, I got drunk and exposed to ugliness.

What do we do?

"Um... isn't it good if it's not alcohol?"

"Well, for the time being, what do you do without alcohol while eating?" Isn't it hungry to move your body? "

"If you say that, don't feel that way."

After having breakfast at the hotel, I contacted Ernst's brother-in-law and the women went shopping. After that, they met outside, had a light cup of tea, and then went to the armor shop, where they had a chambala with Colonel Serena, so lunch is still on. It may be a little early in the day, but it seems that it would be a good time to look for the store and enter now.

"Then do you want to go in that direction?" Is that all right with you, Colonel? "

Yes, that's fine.

Okay. Is that all right with Kugi?

Yes, my lord.

Colonel Serena and Kugi also agreed to move to the dining room. Mei? Mei nodded, just looking at her. She's a perfect maid, so she leans on us like a shadow at times like this.

“Hmm, Colonel Serena is here, so would you prefer something a little more upscale?”

In the meantime, as we head out onto the main street, Mimi removes the tablet-type device from the hip holder while walking. A walking smartphone or a walking tablet is dangerous, Mimi.

“Yeah, maybe a little bit more elegant.”

I don't mind being anywhere, do I?

Somehow, they were three people who had known each other for a long time, so Mimi, Elma, and Colonel Serena all began to consider where to go with a sense of relief. Since Colonel Serena is the daughter of the Marquis family, Mimi was quite reluctant at first, but it seems that she got used to seeing Colonel Serena wrapping her tube with alcohol many times.

Isn't Kugi joining the conversation?

"I still don't know your dietary preferences, and I don't know what kind of restaurant there is in the first place..."

"I see... oh, you didn't exchange contact information with Kugi's terminal." Should I replace it? "

"Ah, yes. Uhm..."

Kugi searches for small items like shoulder bags and retrieves a small information terminal. Looks like it's new and shiny.

"Actually, I didn't really know how to use them... they used coins and banknotes in their country, and I didn't have to use such a device for communication."

I see? Well, let's start with the device... hey, I think it's better to turn on the authentication feature.

What about Nonshio?

Kugi tilts her head. Oh, this is the one who really doesn't know anything. Wow, I don't think there are people in the sci-fi world who can't master technology products at all. How did we get to this Windus system like this? I wonder if someone escorted me.

"Alright, after all, please keep it in your bag for now." I'll tell you when I get back to my room. Be careful not to fall into the hands of others. ”

Yes, my lord.

Kugi nods honestly to my words and cares about putting a small information terminal in his shoulder bag. She said so herself, but she's really a boxed-in girl. This is going to take a lot of time to adapt.

And May watched me and Kugi interact quietly. I've been staring at it so much, what is it? So I turned my gaze to Mae, but she shook her head to the side as if nothing was happening. Mei also felt a little strange. What's the matter with you?

"Hiro, and Kugi, come here a minute." Now that we've narrowed down a few suggestions, let's decide where we're going. ”

"Aiya. Come on, let's go, too."

Yes.

Having been called out to the main street, Kugi and I caught up with the three people who were walking while talking a few steps ahead, and decided to gather near the building wall without any weirdness at the end of the road to discuss the destination. That's how we're going to get out of the way.

So, you have a few suggestions?

"Yes! My recommendation is here!"

So Mimi shows me the screen of the tablet. What you see there is a mysterious sphere that glows like a jade insect, or a pink noodle, not some kind of larvae, or a worm. Anyway, the elongated creature was powdered with something. And with the four-legged insect bath... no, crab? Crabs? No, it's something different. Anyway, that kind of thing makes me look like a ghetto.

It's a local restaurant on Pippiperoni!

”Um, Narhodneh... let's go next time”

Looking to the side, the ear above Kugi's head, who was looking at the screen, was prone and slightly trembling. The three tails of the futaba also seemed to be slightly swollen. The local cuisine of Pipperoni stars seemed unacceptable to Kugi. I wonder where Pipperoni is. Imperial territory? I definitely didn't want to get close.

"I chose a safe place."

Elma reaches into Mimi's tablet and displays the screen. Apparently, it was the main restaurant serving Imperial cuisine. It seems that the food is not made from synthetic ingredients made from food cartridges, but from real ingredients - that is, dishes made from vegetables and meat. Yeah, this is no problem. Very no problem.

If you dare to be greedy, how about the fact that the food is similar to the restaurant of the hotel?

"And one more thing... eh?"

The last one was a junk food store with chain stores throughout the Empire. It is directly managed by the largest auto cooker manufacturer in the Empire and has a minimum manning capacity. They have a wide variety of automatic cookers, and guests can order their own meals and eat them at the table.

"... is that it?"

"It's an unexpected choice."

“It wouldn't be interesting to just eat at a fancy restaurant.”

I see. That's true, too. It's true that Kugi has never spoken of cooking in an automatic cooker, and it might not be a bad choice. If we were eating out, we'd all be going to fancy shops lately.

"I'd like to adopt Colonel Serena's proposal." Sometimes ants enjoy the cheap flavor, right? "

Yeah, maybe once in a while.

"This chain store was also in Turmaine Prime Colony, right?" I used to go there with my friends. Kind of... yeah, I miss it. "

Mimi gives a slightly sad look. For Mimi, it may be a place that recalls nostalgia and happy memories, as well as hard memories. Turmaine Prime Colony, Mimi's hometown, is her home, but it's also a place where no one helped her.

"Look, don't you look like that?" If you don't enjoy your meal, you'll lose it. "

Elma seemed to have guessed something, and while saying that, she slapped Mimi on the back.

"Yes, yes! I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of menu we have now. Except for the standard menu, it changes depending on the time of year."

Mimi smiles as she says it with a bright voice, as if she had regained her mind. Well, at times like these, it's better to have fun together and erase bad memories with fun memories than to line up words.

"Well then, let's go and enjoy the junk taste." The food in the automatic cooker is not so bad either. "

"I see. I'm looking forward to it."

Looks like I'm looking forward to it too, so let's get going. Let's enjoy something like a cheap hot dog or a hamburger after a while.
