The next day, Colonel Selena contacted me to come to the bridge in Dorne Torres. This is an appearance order.

"Actually, I'm like my direct employer, and as a mercenary on a military mission, I have no choice but to obey."

That's how it is, isn't it?

Kugi walks next to me and nods as he convinces himself. While walking like this, you're still looking around, and the beast's ears above your head are moving cutely.

"Still, I don't usually get summoned by colonels or major generals of the Imperial Air and Space Forces....."

Elma shrugs her shoulders as she walks across from me. Today I have two servants, Elma and Kugi. Mimi and Tina are selling loot that could be sold in a dawn tress, arranging supplies, and so on.

Until now, I mainly entrusted such work to Mimi, but when Tina and Whisker are able to do their job, Mimi will be more convenient. Mimi is now in a position to teach the mercenaries how to do their jobs. Mei is also overseeing the situation. You could have come over here, but if something goes wrong and the ball of example hits Black Lotus, I can take care of it. I think I'm being too vigilant, but... somehow, if you're in trouble, don't be alarmed. I don't know what kind of trouble is coming from where.

"I am the Lord of Stones."

"Even if you say it's a stone, this is a troublesome thing... I don't think it's an honor to receive an appearance order"

"It's not that bad to be able to face a great person... well, it's not a good thing, is it?"

That's how it is, isn't it?

"That's how it is." At a time when you're in such trouble via Colonel Serena, you can imagine it somehow. "

"If you say so, it may be so." But my lord, this is also the fate that my lord carried on his hands. "

"Maybe so, but I don't want to be convinced..."

After all, it's not easy to clean up this kind of thing with one word of fate.

If you say you weren't lucky, that's it... the word destiny is somehow an image, but it's decided from the beginning that it will be that way, that it will be in harmony with your plans, and that's how you perceive it. No matter how much you scratch your feet to avoid trouble, trouble will come after you, and it seems to be your destiny.

"You two should talk carefully about the spiritual stories around here, even at night. Look, it's time for a classified compartment."

Elma drew my attention to me, so I focused on the situation by shaking off the feeling of Moya Moya in my head for now. Well, even if it's a classified compartment, I've been given a passing ID, and I've told the other person that I have two people with me, so I don't have any problems. Pass the guarded gate without incident and head to the bridge behind the Imperial serviceman who accompanied you as a guide.

"Hey, it's huge."

That's right.

The bridge of Dawn Tress, which I had arrived at on foot for a while, was very wide anyway. The Black Lotus cockpit, or the bridge, is huge, but incomparably bigger. Isn't there enough space for one floor of a large office building? The central part of the bridge is raised one step higher, and a large number of holo screens are unfolded around it. Is that part of the Central Control Zone? Yeah, Colonel Serena's here, so maybe. He stands out from afar.

"There it is."

“Yes, I'll show you.”

An imperial soldier in a pitchpitch uniform leads us to the central government section of the bridge. As I walked behind him, I looked at the information on the holoscreen, but I didn't quite understand it. Since the Dawn Torres case is a mega ship - a colony-class mega ship in the first place - the information on the bridge must be quite different from the nature of the battleship I'm on. You might be able to figure it out if you sit down and observe it carefully, but you can't do anything with the information you read while walking.

Are you here?

Colonel Serena narrows her eyes as she climbs the stairs and sees us in the tall central control area. Well, Colonel Serena looks tired. The voice is subtly unstretched.

"Introducing you. This is Major General Anselm Eslaben, the captain of the supply ship Dawntress." Major General Esleyben, this is Captain Hiro. Mercenary guild platinum runner, troublemaker who picked up the key pieces of information in every case. ”

"My introduction is terrible... I see you at first, Major General." Captain Hiro, these are our crews, Elma and Kugi. ”

"It's Anselm Esleiben. I don't need a lord, just a rank name is enough."

Major General Esleven has offered his hand for a handshake, so we'll be honest.

A middle-aged man with sharp silver-grey eyes. His eyes were more silvery than Captain Grey, who was the captain of the Scratch-Owls fleet, and his sharp eyes could even feel cold. The hair color is also silver-grey like the eyes, and the hair that is slightly longer is tied at the back of the head. That's pretty tough. I had a sword on my waist, just like Colonel Serena's, and this Major General was probably an aristocrat by virtue of his atmosphere.

So, why did I get the call?

"That's because I asked for it."

That's why Major General Esleven looks at me with his silver-gray eyes.

"Hmm..."

In turn, I turned my attention to Elma and Kugi. Elma turned her gaze back to ask if there was anything to complain about, and Kugi smiled and parry.

“It's too much for a coincidence, but the Colonel's right, they don't seem to have anything to back them up.”

"That's good."

"Eh, what is that? Were you suspicious of what I could tell you in the blink of an eye?"

"The Colonel didn't suspect anything. I think I took it from the back. I was the one who was suspicious. Unfortunately, I didn't have anything to trust you with."

Silver-gray eyes are looking at me again. I don't know, this gaze of any kind. Is it even equipped with a lie detector?

"Humans, if there is something backward, there will be some reaction even if there is no response." Pulse, blood pressure, breathing, facial muscles, and more. At least you and your people weren't allowed to do that. [M] That's what I'm talking about. "

"I see... hey, aristocrat"

In other words, this Major General probably has enough specifications to make a human judgment of such things. Perhaps it is strengthening the five senses, such as sight, hearing, and smell, and the processing ability of the brain. It looks like it's going to be hard to live.

"I can consciously switch on and off without worrying."

"I see... eh?"

”I know that too.”

Major General Esleven shrugged his shoulders. So you read my feelings of sympathy or compassion or something? That's ridiculous.

“Now that you've said hello, let's move on. In the meantime, it's a countermeasure against space banditry."

I wonder if Colonel Serena was watching the clock or if Colonel Serena waved the next story at a good time. No, yeah, thanks for the help... but I really don't see the bottom of the aristocrats. Let's try not to get involved in the future as much as possible.
