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

"From the data storage you pulled from the Starfleet vessel, we have located the location of the Starfleet base." This is the location. It's close to the opposite side of the star from Dawn Torres. The outer edge of the asteroid belt, close to the hyperlane entrance to the unexplored system. ”

Colonel Selena points to a dot on the system map on the holoscreen. I see, the stars and asteroid belts are in the way at this location, making it difficult for Dawntress to detect them, and it's easy to catch the movement of Explorers returning from the unexplored system. I don't know if it was here from the beginning, or if it was struck here thinking about Dorne Torres' berthing space, but it was quite conceivable.

"The scouts have already cracked the detailed coordinates and equipment." Looks like they're already getting ready to flee. We need to move quickly. "

The pitiful face of Major General Esleven is illuminated by the light of the holoscreen. Hmm, there's a good-looking vibe. Is this the one who feels the knife?

I see. If I wanted to come out, I could come out right away, but how did the other forces feel?

"Dawn Torres fighter squadron is ready to go."

"Fortunately, we can get out of the Independent fleet immediately." There was a lot of time to finish the maintenance and resupply and deploy. Mercenaries are already on the hunt, so there won't be many of them, but if there's a Dawn Torres fighter squadron in the fight, it won't be a problem. ”

Colonel Serena has been around a lot, so she turns to me at the right time. So I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.

"Well then, I guess it's better to go and finish it off by suddenly destroying it." Given the scale of our forces, I think it would be right to crush them with force, but if we're going to take care of the cosmic thief escape, we should push the main force of the anti-cosmic thief independent fleet from the outer edge, and the mercenaries and fighters should approach from the inner edge and hunt the cosmic thief in the asteroid belt. All you have to do is take Gravity Jammer and place it on the inside edge with the frigates to block the way back. "

That said, I have arranged the force icons to manipulate the holoscreen and intercept the Starbase from both sides. While it might be a little dangerous to fight in an asteroid belt if you don't have a Dawn Torres fighter fleet, fighters on board even smaller than a small battleship are more resistant to fighting in these asteroid belts and pushing with numbers. If you want to take advantage of the traits, you can make enough choices.

"I was wondering why you thought GJ existed... by the way, there were more medium-sized ships made by Ideal."

"After all, you were assigned to the Colonel." I thought so.

That's what I said and I shrugged my shoulders. I talked to Elma about the limited use. That said, it has limited utility, but I'm pretty sure it's a good piece of gear for a system army or an independent fleet of cosmic thieves. It's easier to capture and destroy cosmic bandits without losing them if you deploy them the moment they hit you.

"I will use Captain Hiro's tactical plan as a reference." We'll pack the details. "

Ayisa, let's get ready to deploy.

"Please do so." Needless to say..... "

"Yes, I don't need to say anything until the order is issued." I understand. Both of you, right? "

Of course

Yes, my lord.

Elma and Kugi nodded as I turned my gaze. Even if it leaks from now on, it will not affect many people, but of course, if it does not leak, it is decided that it is good that it has never passed. Let's be careful again.

"Oh, yes. Colonel, what about your balls?"

"You're on hold for now." We are conducting interviews and "negotiations", but it is not as urgent as the matter of the Space Bandit. We've secured and housed the real thing, too. "

"... please don't violate my custody."

“I don't know what you're worried about, but it's hardened with a hardener that penetrates the scan and stores it in a shielded container. Yeah, you can't get out of a Titan class battle bot."

"Well, that's fine." Okay, let's do this. "

Inside, "Really? Are you sure you're okay? It's full of feelings, but let's not dare to say anything. If Colonel Serena collapses under stress after accidentally speaking, or if she pulls something out of her waist, it's going to burst out.



Be courteous and get out of the classified section and back to the ship. I don't know when the plan will be issued, so I don't need to take a detour.

Welcome back.

"Welcome back, Hiro-sama. You're early, aren't you?"

On returning to Black Lotus, Mimi and the Mechanics were peeping through the tablets in the hangar lot. Were you checking supplies?

It was a quick story, in many ways.

Needless to say, Colonel Serena, who I've known for a long time, was a straightforward man, including Major General Esleven. It didn't take me long to put some trust in me.

"Prepare to deploy. If you have supplies that will take time to deliver, you can keep them for me."

It's sudden, but it's okay. I didn't have that much supplies to replenish, so it'll be over soon.

Do you mean you're a space bandit?

“That's right, data storage is working fast.”

"I see... what happened to your balls?"

"You said it was on hold." Now that I've secured the bumps, it seems that I will carefully proceed with the fact-finding. If you even secure it, the urgency will go down. "

"That's true." Even so, what sort of settlement does Colonel Serena envisage? "

I somehow understand the purpose, but I can't see what you're going to do.

That's true.

Tina and Whisker tilted their necks together. I'll tilt my neck too.

I can't imagine how I'd like to settle for sure. Perhaps the best way to do this is to freely process and produce that balls of armor or crustaceans, which could be useful armor, but I do have serious doubts as to whether Colonel Serena's fleet, which specializes in countering thieves, is appropriate for that purpose. Her fleet is nothing more than a fleet dedicated to hunting thieves, and I think it would be a mistake to explore and research an unexplored system.

Well, Lestarius is a big ship. There will be some room in the ship's space. If we wanted to, we could build a surprise research park, or we could put a research crew on board.

"As for you, Colonel Serena will take care of it as soon as the Space Bandit problem is cleared up." It's not really our story, and I hope you don't have to worry about it...

"Oniisan, that's impossible."

You're definitely going to get caught up in this.

It is, isn't it?

"I think so, too."

Tina, Elma, Mimi, and Whisker came in turns. Only Kugi, who has a shallow relationship with Colonel Serena, said, "Is that so?" I'm tilting my neck, but I think I'll get caught up in it. "

Oh no, now that we're done investigating, we don't know what's in the terraforming - at least the balls that could deform and attack are rolling - are we going to descend on an unexplored planet? I definitely didn't like it. An aggressive alien or a mysterious planet lurking with combat mechanics that would make it an absolute sci-fi action horror.

"First of all, it was a countermeasure for the Space Bandit in front of me." Perhaps the Black Lotus will fire a ship from the front, Krishna will engage in chaos in the asteroid belt, and Antrion will stop the cosmic thief from escaping at the inner edge of the asteroid belt. Perhaps Antrion will have an escort, and the Gravity Jammer of the Independent fleet will be positioned close by, so I'm sure it'll be fine, but Elma needs to be particularly careful. It is highly unlikely that either Black Lotus or Krishna will be able to help us soon. Don't spare any money. "

I knew it, but Hiro is overprotective.

"Of course. Whatever you do, you can destroy the ship, so don't ever die." If I don't die, I'll have to start over. "

"Yes, yes, I understand." Put safety first, don't spare any effort. "

"I'm glad you understand. However, this time, Antrion can't make much money... I'll ask for a special reward."

Actually, Krishna and Antrion don't have a concept until they fight together. You can't use your special equipment to do more work than you can do, so you can't win even if you charge a little.

"Game is coming on." What kind of change of heart? "

"There's not much change in your mood." I just don't sell skill and gear for less. The policy is consistent. Didn't you make a firm request when you used your two servicing skills to your request? "

"Ahh... that's true."

Whisker looks distant, remembering how busy he was with the repair of a damaged mercenary ship fighting a crystalline lifeform. That means we didn't give them the skill and the Black Lotus equipment for free, but we got the money. I was just going to do the same for Antrion.

"So we're ready to deploy." Anyway, the policy is, "Be safe! 'Okay, okay?'

"" "Eye Iser" ""

The crew shouted in unison. It's cute to be just a little late for a kugi.

I'll just... check on Ninja Armor. I don't think I will use it today, but I will soon use it. Oh, no.
