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

Three days after I had dinner with Colonel Serena off-duty. We were actually alert to the fact that Colonel Serena could throw a case that we could not refuse in a quick hit, but we had no such thing, and we had a peaceful and safe day.

"Mercenaries are more like that than I thought..."

Plain?

"Well, yes, it might be rude of you to say this to me."

It's nothing to be rude about, though.

I shrugged my shoulders and drank a training drink with protein in it, in response to Kugi's words, who wore training clothes that fit my body snugly.

Hmmm? It doesn't taste bad like some kind of kinako. It's more delicious than I thought.

"This time, it's because of the ship's maintenance." There are almost no cosmic bandits operating in the Windus system, so the kind of work we can do in this system is basic security. Escorts are often contracted on a monthly basis after a few weeks, so it's a little hard to accept them on a single Krishna ship. ”

I can't leave Black Lotus and Antrion behind.

"As a result, I can't move from here, and I can't get a job, so I have to train, or else I have to eat and sleep."

In the morning, we saw off the mechanic sisters who were finishing their meals and dress and went to work. We were all four of us turning to the exercise facility near the hotel. The hotel didn't have a dedicated gym, so I went out of my way to visit. If you really eat and sleep, your body will be dull.

But Kugi also has a general image of a mercenary, right?

“Yes, I've seen Hollywood movies, novels, comics, etc., all about mercenary activities.”

"I'm surprised. When I heard about Kugi, I thought that the people of the Holy Empire of Verzales had nothing to do with such entertainment."

“It's not like that. It is true that these people make it their number one priority to fulfill their mission, but for this reason, a happy and healthy life is important. And to live a happy and healthy life, entertainment is naturally necessary. Entertainment is widespread in these countries.”

Saying that, Kugi's chest is stretched.

"I don't know what you're talking about... well, it's certainly realistic that everyone will end their lives with nothing but a mission and no fun."

People can't live without something close by. The mission Kugi was talking about was somewhat grandiose or far-fetched, but the scale was a little too large for me to understand. It's not shocking to keep working for something like that with your whole life in the ground.

Though the story will change, Kugi has quite a lot of physical strength, isn't he?

“Really? I don't really realize that.”

Kuki tilts his head at my point. The beast's ears above her head are moving very cutely.

“I thought so, too. Almost the same as Hiro-sama, right?"

No, I think muscle strength and instantaneous strength are probably better than mine.

According to the data from the running machine, my endurance is higher, but my other physical abilities are equal to or better than mine. It seemed that Elma, who was undergoing physical strengthening treatment, was no match for the Rock.

"Is that the ear and tail of all the people in the Holy Empire of Verzalus?"

"That's right, there are many people with ears and tails like me. There are different shapes and numbers, and the ears are similar to ours, and some people have horns."

"I see...?"

I don't know. All I can imagine is, are these people like the so-called beasts? What kind of ears have horns like mine? It feels like a ghost? I don't know.

It's like a sorceress's everyday clothes, so the Velzals' Holy Empire is like a kingdom of chemomites with a Japanese atmosphere in me, but is it like a monstrous kingdom when someone comes here and tells me that there are ghostly people? Seriously, the Holy Empire of Verzales.

If Kugi isn't superior to his special physical abilities, then he might have higher basic physical abilities than me or a human like Mimi.

Is that so?

Tina and Whisker are also very powerful, so maybe that's what they look like.

Those two are dwarves, so their skill and grip are amazing. Also, the strength of the liver is not half the same.

"By the way, what are we going to do today if we finish the whole exercise?" You didn't have any plans, did you? "

"Hmm, that's right. There's no place for sightseeing anymore...."

Over the past three days, I have seen most of the commercial and entertainment areas of the Windstellthius Colony. There were no special facilities, but the store in the commercial area had a good range of products overall.

By the way, Mimi bought a lot of things at the import store... there are occasional big wins, but most of the food that Mimi buys from imported products is groceries.

Speaking of which, your order will arrive in Krishna today.

What did you order?

"Yes! Food made in various places brought in by trading ships!" Kugi-chan, are you interested? "

A glowing smile turned toward Kugi. Oh, no. Don't hurry, Kugi. If you get caught with that smile, you're going to be in a hell of a lot of trouble. That smile is a trap that invites you to a hellish get-together.

When I thought about what I did while looking at Mimi, who preached the beauty of imported food to Kugi, and Kugi, who listened to it with interest, my small information terminal rang the ringing tone. This sounds like Tina. I'm supposed to be at work, but what's the matter?

"Yes, hello? What's the matter?"

When I started communication in speaker mode, I heard Tina's voice from a small information terminal.

"Ah, niisan? I got a half day off today and just finished work in the morning. Why don't you and I go to dinner with the three of us?"

Fine, but are you three?

I turned my attention to Clinch and Mimi. What does it mean to dare to be alone? This is the first time I've heard such an offer.

"May and I are following you here, so go ahead."

That's what Elma said when she turned her gaze to me. Mimi also turned her gaze toward us and nodded cheerfully. Hmm? Is this the kind of vibe you had in mind beforehand?

"What are you up to... well, I see." Where should we meet? "

'Goodbye. Well, I'll send the data from here on out. We'll be on our way soon. ”

Okay, I'll see you later.

If you do that and hang up, we'll send you a map of the rendezvous point. Hmm? Looks like a bit of an upscale restaurant.

It's better if you don't ask me about the situation.

"Ask me who you are."

Okay, I'll take care of it.

"I'm in charge." I owe you one. "

"Colonel Serena, please don't do this."

While returning a bitter smile to Elma, she nodded, staring at May, who was waiting in the corner of the training room. Now, what kind of stories are popping up?
