How about that?

"It's delicious. I'm surprised that it's all made of machinery, and it's all made of something called Fu Dorito."

The hamburger Kugi grabbed with both hands... pretending to pretend to have a tail while eating something like that. A white bun, a vermilion patty, and a dark green lettuce. If it's just the shape, it's a hamburger, but the color is weird. But since the flavor is properly a hamburger, this is probably a hamburger after all.

Well, the color changes slightly depending on the cartridge you use, but this one. The taste is almost the same, but the colour changes. Maybe it's a difference in raw materials.

Hiro-sama, Hiro-sama, this is also delicious

"Which one? Whoa? This is for sure." It's kind of curry-like. "

Mimi was eating something like yellow bread, but it was delicious with a spicy paste like curry inside. Some kind of food with curry in it.

"...... muuu"

Colonel Serena turned to me and picked something like French fries. Even if it looks green, the texture and taste are the french fries themselves, right?

Why are you looking so frustrated?

"Nothing... looks fun and good, right?"

Wow, I can't stand it.

"Can you stop saying it's embarrassing?"

"You guys, please stop fighting around here, right?" Even though it's notable. "

Elma was stunned to see Colonel Serena start to emit a disturbing aura with a smile.

Yeah, that's right. You stand out. A man who looks like a mercenary, four beauties and a maiden. One of them is in the uniform of the Imperial Air and Space Force, and he has a sword pointed at his waist. Looking closely, the mercenary-like man also pointed his sword at his waist. An aristocrat? Wow. It's only natural to be close...

Because of that, the area around the box seat where we are sitting is stunningly turned into a blank zone. Yes, to be honest, I'm very sorry. But as for us, I refuse that we can't eat what we like, so I want you to be patient. Well, I didn't ask you to clear your seat. I was frightened and distanced on my own, so I didn't have to worry about it.

How long have you stayed in this colony?

"I can't move for at least another week." I'm waiting for a new ship to arrive, and I'm working on the Black Lotus. Krishna can move, but I'm not going anywhere with a new ship and a Black Lotus. ”

While answering Colonel Serena's question, I eat what I ordered, like a hot dog. Every sausage has its teeth now, but I'm not unhappy with anything else. There is something wrong with the colour scheme.

"Why is Colonel Serena here?" Yeah, well, it's not like I'm asking for military secrets. "

"It's because I became a colonel." Please think about it later. "

Hmm?

That means you need to stay in the Windus system because you've been promoted. So the promotion of Colonel Serena, the Commander, will increase the fleet size of the Independent Star Thief fleet? I see. That's why Colonel Serena is staying in the Windus system, one of the Empire's finest Shipyard systems. Perhaps we are in the process of receiving some new or lesser ships here.

“That sounds like a tough procedure.”

"Yeah, well... I'm glad to be evaluated a lot, but it's a lot of trouble if things go too far." There are also people who are jealous that it's their parents' seven glows. "

"If you say there's no such thing, you're lying, but more than that, your colonel's flexible ideas, your judgment when you're here, and your luck are also involved."

"... you can't deny that you're lucky."

That's why Colonel Serena turns to me. Well, if Black Lotus and I hadn't intervened at that exquisite time, Colonel Serena could have been killed by a crystal-life opponent. Or maybe he was badly wounded in a land battle in the Cormat system. Even with the support of the Imperial Marines, it might have been dangerous to defeat Colonel Serena alone and beat him unharmed.

"But it's tough." You're going to have a lot more men, aren't you? "

“That's right, it's a lot more than it's ever been. Well, I'm also from the Marquis family, so I'm not lacking in such abilities."

You're so confident.

"I'm from the Viscount family, and I'm only lightly strengthening my physical abilities, but I'm also strengthening my brain's processing abilities as well as my physical abilities when I'm a Marquis." Rather than being incredibly confident, you're able to do it. "

That's right, I don't want to use it too much because I'm tired.

That's why Colonel Serena drinks coffee with a large amount of gum syrup and sweetener. Do brain miso want sugar to do brain work? I don't even know if I have diabetes.

Well, as far as I can tell, there seems to be nothing we can do to help.

“That's right. If the fleet were to grow, a small fleet of mercenaries like ours would be at an error level in terms of combat power, and they would already be uniquely sublimated in terms of counter-spyware tactics?”

"Well, yes. Recently, my appetite has gotten worse, so I'm using my disguise to focus on it... like a small ship guarded by military equipment."

Wow, that's vicious.

It must be a nightmare for a cosmic thief to see a small ship carrying a rushing mercenary being stuck in a vault with military gear.

That said, Elma smiled bitterly. I don't know what kind of ship we're using, but a ship like a rushing mercenary could be the Space Manta, commonly known as Zabtong, or the Spearhead, commonly known as a carrot.

Both of these ships were the smallest in their class, and the ability to fight was limited, as generators and other large ships weren't possible. However, if you still toughen up your entire body with military gear, you will have a faster and more powerful turn, making it an adequate attacking aircraft for a Starfleet opponent.

Speaking of which, I think the pseudo-food transporter has increased in number. So if you think a few outgoing mercenaries are a delicious convoy of guards and attack them, the transports, the guard ships, the hardened ones with military equipment, and the main body of the Independent fleet will soon appear in reinforcements. It's terrifying.

"You must be the ones who taught us how to do this."

With an unexpected expression, Colonel Serena sends something like a classy chicken nugget into her mouth. It's amazing how nice you look when you're eating with your hand. This is the real nobleman, Mr. Elma. It doesn't look like that, Elma-san. Oh, it hurts, please stop grabbing my arms.

Can you stop flirting in front of me?

"Education, education."

"It hurts so much... I'll get back to it, but training your fleet is going to increase for a while." It's tough, isn't it?

"It will be that way." As the scale increases, tactics need to be rebuilt. "

Colonel Serena gave a difficult expression.

In fact, the Independent Star Thief fleet is not only used against Star Thieves, but also against Crystal Life Form opponents. I think that Colonel Serena's higher idea is that he wants to be a free-force force that can easily send people where they need to go when they need to, while maintaining security and gaining popularity in the country.

I'm sure you'll have more combat experience than a bad regular fleet, because you don't know how to deal with cosmic bandits.

"Well, I don't know if there's anything I can do for you, but we'll be free when we're done sourcing and refurbishing our ships." Depending on the conditions, you can take the job. The number of ships has increased, and my rank is platinum, so the price will be higher. "

"That's right, I'll be happy to contact you at that time." At that time, I still don't like it. That's what you said. "

"If you can convince me."

I shrugged my shoulders and answered Colonel Serena's question. If you put it this way, you don't like the conditions, so you can say it any way you want. In other words, if you have to, you can spray it and refuse. Gahaha, you won.
