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

"Oh, this is the first time I've met you face to face--no, you're awesome."

Instead of going through the holoscreen, Captain Souls looked me in the face and twisted his cheek when he saw us. Mimi and Kugi hugged my arm as promised. Elma is walking close to me with a sad face, and Tina, Whiskey, and May are accompanying her.

"Is it a man's dream?" No, it's a big deal. That's a platinum runner, big guy. ”

"I have a situation, a lot of things... again, Hiro."

“Souls, ladies and gentlemen.”

I asked Mimi and Kugi to release their arms and shake hands with Captain Souls.

He was a magnificent man, quite handsome from my point of view... so called Ikeoji. Short hair that was also gray in Gray's eyes. There's nothing peculiar about the outfit, but it's tall and has a good style. Not too muscular, not too saggy. Even so, it doesn't look fragile. You have a well-balanced body.

"I don't know how to stand up." I've got seats. "

Captain Souls prompted me to enter the store with his crew. According to Mimi's preliminary research, this is a kind of tavern that operates as a so-called entertainment facility rather than a regular cafeteria in Dawn Torres. Apparently, it is intended to be used by squads and platoons to deepen rapport, and it is possible to eat and drink for about ten to dozens of people.

"There's no shortage of people who are good at setting things up like this." I've been doing a lot of work today, but.... "

Having said that, Captain Souls turned his gaze to a young male crew with a face like a Tibetan snail. The negative aura is about to overflow. Is he all right?

"Ha, well, it's a good medicine for that misunderstanding bastard." At most, show me that you're different. "

"I don't want to be a pain in the ass, I..."

Captain Souls slapped me in the back and sat down. Unusually, it seems like we're eating a buffet here. It seems that you can freely choose whether to eat large quantities of prepared food on your own plate, while talking in the appropriate place, or eat at the prepared seats. Is alcohol self-cleaning, too? No, it's fine to self serve the liquor, but it looks like you can also order it from the service robot. It's not safe for a drunk to go to the server to get a drink all the time.



It was a dinner party that started, but it didn't turn out to be a bad atmosphere sooner.

Jealousy and all that kind of emotion circles around me, and I respect it.

"No, it's already... really already." Hiro-san Panei "

"Oh, oh"

For some reason, instead of Mimi and Kugi, I was surrounded by young male crews. Apart from Mae, who was a maiden, there were five women surrounding them, and I seemed to be the subject of Respect.

As usual, it's an old one with half a mold growing on it, but I've never seen it so brilliantly make a harlem before.

”Oh, well, all those cute kids... can you teach me the secret?”

The male crew, who seemed to be a little annoyed by Mimi in the communication, corrected their posture and asked with a real face.

"It's not like that... flow, flow." If you dare to say it, apart from not missing the timing and what the end will be, I will be prepared to take responsibility until the end. "

Elma was the only one who actually pulled me into the ship, so I'm not lying. Mimi had no choice but to help her impulsively and put her on the ship as a result. Elma was the only one who actively pulled me into the ship with the clear intention of being a crew.

"As far as I'm concerned, even though I have five cute girls surrounded, I can't believe that I'm even using my hands on a maiden... and that maiden is an unbelievably custom product, right?"

This time, a young man with a slightly lethargic glasses called out. Yeah, it's kind of nude to look at. That's a stereotype! Well, glasses are strangely mechanical, and they're probably some kind of wearable device.

That's right. Making a maiden with the same specifications as our May will cost you hundreds of thousands of Enel.

"Hundreds of thousands! Though it's cheaper than a ship... no, what... do you want to keep it?"

That's what the sailor said, moving his hips back and forth.

"Well... are you training?" Besides, my [Chef] is very capable. "

Saying that, I slapped my belly with my fist with my strength in my abs. In fact, Tetsuzin Fifth, the automatic cooker on my ship, seems to be observing my exercise data to provide the best meals. Data that is regularly scanned with a simple medical pod, my small information terminal, the machines in the training room, not only that, but also data received from May to determine the nutrients that I need. It's too high performance.

"As usual, if you don't want to be slashed with a sword by an aristocrat, get caught in a noble conspiracy, plunge into a swarm of crystalline lifeforms, put on power armor, or cut into a biological weapon without wearing it, or if the flying machine on which the nobleman was riding crashes, an encounter like mine might roll in from over there."

No, you can't.

"Normally, you die."

"As a result of getting into such trouble, there is now." I want you to think about it. "

This is a hell of a row. I don't know why I'm alive.

"But that doesn't mean you're in trouble, does it?" like today. "

"No, I really screwed up today."

"If Hiro-san hadn't come, at least I'd be dead... I'd be ready to die with my shields off and my armor pulled out."

Huh? Apparently, this Glasses was the pilot of the Explorer's escort's small fighter plane. It felt like a hydrangea to me, but I was surprised.

"I see. So today's meeting is still our chance...?"

"Oh? What? Challenge?" Do it? Do it? "

"I'm kidding. I can't."

"But the Maiden is good... it also supports the battle, right?"

Oh, if you spend money on your positron brain and omit your fighting ability, you can go 100,000 or not, right?

"That's about it... hmmm"

Eyeglasses--surely it was called a hector-and I started to get lost in the thought of eating there. Ready? Let's set it up.

That's right, your captain said that you've been digging up some treasures in an unexplored system?

"Did you hear that?" What should I do, this is quite... ah, can I say it? "

"As I heard, I'm a mercenary and not an Explorer." I'm not interested in where I got it. It's just exciting when they say it's a treasure, isn't it? "

"That's right. Off the record, isn't it?" This is how it works. "

That said, he used his small information terminal to project the multi-functional power armor for the Explorer and the mysterious true sphere holo sitting next to it.

"This kind of balls." It's pretty tough on bouncing lasers, so it clearly doesn't look natural. Moreover, the place was obviously an artificial object, and it didn't feel like a natural terrain. I'm expecting a little bit because this might be an artifact. "

"Ah... yes. By the way, is there any crew left on the ship?"

No, we're all paying to be here.

The young sailor who said that looked inside the venue. Yeah, that's where Captain Souls and my drinking guards are drinking. Mimi and Kugi are escorted by May and seem to be having a good conversation with the sailors who are a little older than they are with me.

"I'm sorry."

Ugh.

I take out the small information terminal, select Colonel Serena from the address book, and start communication. Soon after, Colonel Serena answered the call.

What's the matter? If you're looking for data storage, you just arrived here. "

"Colonel, I found your balls." It was loaded into the Screech Owls, and now the crews are all out. "

……

Ah, Colonel?

Please shut up for a second. Right now, all mental strength is directed at controlling emotions. "

"... it looks like I'm being ruthless, but I don't have any bad intentions." "Truly. By the gods of heaven and earth."

I know, so can you shut up?

Yes.

He's definitely freaking out! Hey! I'm not bad!
