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

"I care too much."

This is a new ship for Elma, Antrion's cockpit. She smiled bitterly as she said so while sitting on the main pilot's seat.

“Hiro is the owner, the captain and our leader, so you can do as you please.”

Isn't it too appropriate?

I accidentally frown while sitting on the sub-pilot seat. I'm not a one-man black company, am I?

"You're surprisingly naïve, aren't you?" Usually, it's okay to thrust it into a group of cosmic thieves or a group of crystalline lifeforms. "

"And it's not like this." There's no reason to back down into a winning battle. "

"That's why the two names are" crazy "... well, in fact, it's difficult to pilot if you can't fight properly." I think you know that better than anyone. "

"Maybe we can overcome it with training." I can now shoot guns, too. "

But it's a different story to whether you can shoot at people just by being able to shoot them properly, right?

That's true, but...

Anyway, it seems that Mimi is really not suitable for fighting from the root. I guess he's too good to grow up. In a sense, she may be more of a box girl than a noble lady or a royal princess. It seems that she was originally the daughter of a middle-class family in a colony and grew up in an environment that was completely isolated from the controversy.

She's not very good at fighting, either.

"I feel like I'm not good at fighting." It doesn't seem to be too bitter to train your body itself. "

"Maybe it's better to go to the engineer or navigator instead of the sub-pilot."

Engineers are professionals who, apart from mechanics like Tina and Whisker, perform engine control, shield control, and control subsystems. Sol (Stella Online) is a function dedicated to NPC crews that cannot be replaced by players' skills. It provides a slight bonus to the ship's basic performance and shield performance, and has the ability to automatically use subsystems such as shield cells and chaff. It was called an engineer.

The Navigator was an NPC crew that slightly improved maximum speed and mobility during hyper-speed voyages, the startup time of hyper-speed drives and hyperdrives, and also slightly improved the time elapsed during hyperlane travel. This is the navigator.

Hmmm. I was hoping that Mimi would take care of the transport, resupply and trade.

"That might be good in the future." However, I think it would be good to accumulate experience and training as an engineer and navigator now. If I later command the transport as captain, both experiences will be effective. "

“I see. Maybe that's true.”

Is it good to end up working effectively as Mimi's career? Pilots with pilotage skills can be hired or whatever, and Mimi's style is to command the entire ship. Rather, Mimi's temper might suit you better.

"Tell Mimi exactly what happened, including the fact that I wanted to leave the transports and supply ships to Mimi." Oh, no, I'm coming with you. "

“That's helpful, Elma can really be counted on.”

Of course, right? Because I'm ahead of you.

That said, Elma gave herself a full expression. Yeah, that's a perfect look. But I can't get my head up because I can really rely on it like that.

"Well, as far as I'm concerned, I don't feel bad about being relied on. I'm kind of proud that you came to talk to me before May did."

Did you have a sense of confrontation?

"It's not that much of a counter-conscious." I'm just glad to be counted on. Now, let's go. Goodness says hurry. "

Elma lifted her hips from the main pilot's seat and reached out. I will also take that hand and raise my hips from the sub-pilot seat.

Yeah, I'll just have to clean this up right away. Let's go talk to Mimi right away.



"That's why."

"I see..."

Moving to the Black Lotus cafeteria and telling Mimi who was drinking tea with Kugi that she had spoken to Elma earlier, Mimi closed her eyes and bowed down.

Hiro-sama will stay with me forever, right?

Mimi, who immediately raised her face, threw a serious look at me and threw a very heavy question. It's heavy, but my mind is fixed, so I don't have to struggle with answers.

"Of course I'm going to." I want to be with you as long as you don't love me. "

"That's good, I want to do my best to make it most convenient for Hiro-sama."

"I'm glad you said that, but Mimi is also thinking about her future..."

"My future is to stay with Hiro-sama forever." That's why I want to acquire a technology that is convenient for Hiro-sama. "

Oh... Hevy. Hevy indeed.

"Ok, so in the future, please proceed to learn which one suits your skin, whether it's a navigator or an engineer." From the operator's point of view, it seems that turning to the navigator is more affinity, but that is good at Mimi's discretion. "

I see. Then Kugi-chan will be training as a sub-pilot, right?

Having said that, Mimi turned her gaze to Kugi, who was watching us from a distance. We didn't have to talk to each other in private, so I'm sure our conversation is overheard. That said, it seems to be actually being heard, because Mimi called me by name and turned her gaze to me, and Kuki also turned her gaze to me and twitched her ears above her head. It's cute.

"You're going to have to do that." In that sense, does Mimi and Kugi have a clear division of roles? "

“Okay, I will continue to do my best.”

That said, Mimi gave me a good smile.

If we're going to be a mercenary corps at one end, we're going to have to spend our days thinking about the long-term perspective. Well, even if we add too many people, it won't surpass my capacity, and I don't plan to increase the number of people very much, honestly. There's a question of whether I can trust you as a friend.

Yeah, to the extent that I can 't--

Then, a cerebral voice echoed in the cafeteria.

"Uiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis Everyone's tired, too."

"Onee-chan, you're too cute."

I wonder if the company quit and blew up a lot. Since the other day, Tina and Whisker have been appearing with high tension. No, my sister Tina is the only one with high tensions. He's not drinking at work, is he?

What? Did you say something serious?

"I got it."

Patience?

Well, I forgive you.

"I did it, oniisan, fat-"

Tina raised her hands to show her joy. No, it's really tense. You sure you don't want a drink? Ah, yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuruuuuuuu Why don't you take a breath?

"I'm sorry for being so serious... onee-chan, it's been like this all along"

"Please be careful not to make mistakes or serious injuries at work."

Yes.

My sister Whisker seems to be terrified of her behavior. It won't be easy, and so will this girl.
