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

You stand out. No, you don't. I'm alone, and I'm walking along with six beautiful people. It can't be unobtrusive. Moreover, Mae was a maid's outfit, and Kugi was a sorceress-like costume.

Well, is there only a man inside Dornetres? That's not true at all. There are still many people in uniform, but is there a slightly higher ratio of men to women? How impressive is that? That doesn't mean we're invisible. More than 70% of them come from uniforms, or from matching plain and durable shirts and pants.

Somehow you've been seen.

"Our clothes are floating." But I don't need to worry about it. "

Among us, Kugi and Mei, who are dressed in exceptional clothes, are talking in a whisper. I asked May to take care of Kugi first, so Kugi seemed surprisingly open-minded. In fact, I was a little worried about the lewd spiritual civilization and machine intelligence, but it seems that there is no such feeling that May's existence is unpleasant.

Ah, the atmosphere of this boat will settle down.

"The ceiling height is similar to a dwarf colony." And it might remind you of the Blood Prime Colony. "

Tina and Whisker were looking around and enjoying themselves. Sure enough, they're right, the ceilings aren't high enough around here. In the case of general colonies, the ceilings are often quite high for the main living quarters. This is because the stress felt by the residents is much smaller. Since this ship is a warship, I think it is focusing more on space saving than on the surrounding circumstances.

Even though it's a boat, it's interesting to have tourist information for guests.

"I guess they often act as an outpost for Edge World like this one." I wonder if I'll need it because it will bring together merchants, mercenaries, and adventurers. "

Tourist information is more modest than regular colonies. If there is a cafeteria or if you want to trade in supplies, it seems that it is written in a simplified way, such as this lots or procedures related to this lots.

I was surprised to see an entertainment district on the ship.

"That's because you're a soldier." We need a place where we can relieve the stress. ”

"It's like one of the earliest colonies, isn't it?" Rather than normal colonies, security seems better. "

That's for sure.

In many colonies, there are places called slums, and in some cases, there are places that are even worse. But this ship, the Dorne Tress, doesn't seem to have such a lot. That's how discipline works in every corner. The Commander of this ship must be quite charismatic.

“Would you like to go shopping first?”

"There may be something to dig up, and I will." After that, it's gonna be all right. "

Yes, I decided on a course of action and first reached out to the commercial park, close to the docking area where Black Lotus and Antrion are docked. There are many private stores around here, and it seems to be a very lively neighborhood. The number of people is also high. There are quite a few mercenary-looking people like us, so it looks like the same people that arrived on this ship with us are coming out around here.

"The Gendarmerie is keeping an eye on you."

There's a lot of people out there, so it's probably natural to deal with that kind of thing.

Especially when there are many mercenaries who are thought to be living a rough life with a lot of blood, the probability of trouble in the lots where these people are likely to gather is high. It could be described as a reasonable choice.

"Ah, oniisan, why don't you take a look at the shop over there?"

Whisker said that and pulled the hem of Quik and my jacket lightly, so I looked at the way she pointed. That's... what is it? What are you selling? When I see it, it looks like there's only a line of junk with no known use.

"It's good to go, but what kind of store is that?"

It looks like an artifact the adventurer brought home.

Is that an artifact?

The artifact that the adventure picture brings back refers to something like a trace of an unknown alien civilization. In fact, it seems that the people who were playing adventurers in the SOL made money by finding scanning information on unexplored planets and such artifacts and selling them out. However, I have never actually acquired such things or searched for them, so I only know what kind of information is actually.

"It's good to just look at it, but stop buying it." Sometimes I hear that I got a sweet and troublesome disease from quarantine. "

"Yeah... I'm scared of that."

Elma noticed the whisker with her gaze, and Mimi, who heard it, was pulling. No, I've never heard of it. Scary artifact.

"It seems that there are some troublesome things that interfere with the spirit rather than the disease. There, the singing of the singing crystal resounds in your brain rather than your ears. Just like that."

I'm starting to get scared of what's going on, though.

Whisker himself, who was about to go, was frightened by Elma's threatening story. However, I decided to take a peek inside because this kind of store can only be seen in the vicinity of Edgeworld, and there may be something interesting.

"Welcome"

There was a small man sitting at the counter in the back of the small shop. It seems to be cybernetic to the eye, and instead of both eyes, the green lens glows pale. Hmm, the scent is giving off an atmosphere.

"It's an interesting form." This is it, isn't it? "

"Hmm, I can't imagine it at all. It only looks like a storage item."

Tina soon began to appreciate the mysterious artifact in Whisker's transparent showcase. I follow them and take a peek at the contents of the same showcase as the girls, but I can see that I don't really know what this is. It is something like a visual vessel like a pharmaceutical laboratory shaped in a shiny white material. It is common in this world not to be able to guess the material by appearance, but this kind of atmosphere feels more like organic matter than inorganic matter. It just looks like white ceramic, but for some reason it doesn't feel like inorganic matter. This is certainly a mystery.

"Wow, why is this glowing?"

"It's a mystery. It looks like a green flame is shaking inside... but isn't it dangerous?"

"The energy response isn't as strong as it sounds. It's the equivalent of one energy pack."

It's kind of beautiful, isn't it?

Mimi and the others looked at something like a dark green jade on a golden pedestal. That's enough for one energy pack, isn't it? Isn't it a forgery made like that?

Is there anything that bothers you?

"Yes, my lord, especially in the afternoon. I don't see anything with unusually high potential or emitting psychic waves.”

I see.

In that case, at least there is no object that has lost its way from another world or something like me, but there is no such thing as interfering with the spirit and doing something bad here.

"If you like something, maybe you should buy it." I don't hate mysterious objects any more than I do. "

By the way, it's a part of the inert core of the crystalline life form, right?

"It's sparkling. I like it."

Even in the dark, it's pretty pale and shimmering with seven colors. I'm scared if anything happens to me, so I've sealed it in a sturdy shielded case. I know it's inert, but I don't want to touch it with my bare hands.

"Hmm, I just want a little... how about this?"

"Where should I put it?" At least it's a little smaller. "

Whisker points to a twisted cone about the size of herself, or something slightly drill-like, and Tina throws an NG in a flash. What the hell is that? It is made of a black metal-like material, and somehow there are red bars that glow everywhere, and I feel that it is very blasphemous or disgusting. It looked like it was in a demon king's castle or something.

After that, I cooled down the shop and ended up leaving the artifact shop without buying anything. Honestly, I felt sorry for you, but even if I bought a piece of junk with an unknown purpose that wasn't attracted to the boulder... well, I think there are other similar stores, so I think I'll take a quick peek.
