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

"I've seen it many times from the outside, but I've finally stepped in."

Could you show me the engine room or something?

About an hour after we talked to Colonel Selena. Me and Kugi, along with Tina and Whisker, were on their way to Lestarius, the flagship of the Independent Star Thief fleet. Me and Kugi look the same as usual, but Tina and Whisker are each carrying large packages in full gear.

Even though it's fully equipped, it's fully equipped as an engineer, so in my usual work jumpsuit, there are all kinds of tools, data tablets, and luggage that I told you to bring. It was definitely not for fighting or anything like that. In the first place, they were non-combatants.

I'm sorry you had to hang out with me, too.

"No, my lord, there is no greater honor than this, if only it could be of service to you."

That said, Kugi's ears are pinned and his nose is rough. The three fluffy tails are also loosely swaying. You're a really healthy girl, aren't you?

Then, while walking, I arrived at the oversized docking bay area where Lestarius was docked, so I was asked to pass through the security gate by presenting my ID with a small information terminal. Naturally, this area is a high-security area, so if you wander around without permission, you will be relentlessly arrested. If you resist, you'll be shot with a laser rifle, and if you manage a sentry, there will be a lot of powerful reinforcements coming from all over the place, from Gachimchi's brothers and sisters armed with power armor and heavy weapons.

Of course, in the worst case scenario, they could even be targeted by the Lestarius and other military ship guns that are docked. No matter how expensive Enel is, I'm definitely going to have to punch him in this place.

Thank you, Captain Hiro. Thank you for your patience.

"Oh, Captain Robitson, I'm sorry I bothered to show you around."

Lieutenant Robitson, Colonel Serena's lieutenant, was waiting for us in Lestarius' tarap.

Thank you very much for today.

Thank you very much.

Tina and Whisker greeted her, and Kugi quietly lowered her head.

Having said hello, Lieutenant Robitson immediately invited us inside Lestarius.

This is the first time I've been to the hold.

"The meeting spaces at the bridge, reception room, and canteen are concentrated in the central block, so I guess I didn't have the chance to come." The lower blocks are mainly occupied by crews and supply hangars. "

I'm sure I can't help you with that.

Some of the Lestarius crew were pretty close. I used to go to Lestarius with Mimi and Elma for a while to guide them on how to hunt Space Thieves. However, it is not the case that we are disturbing their private space in the living quarters.

That's it. Personal space is a kind of sanctuary. Space structures such as colonies and the interior of spaceships are a kind of luxury. It seems that inviting others into it is not the case even if they are close friends. Honestly, there's something I don't quite understand.

In that sense, it seems that I am a chubby captain who gives superb treatment to crews in the public eye, with huge break spaces, training rooms, and large private rooms.

I hope it didn't explode today.

"Wait a minute, I just heard some disturbing words?"

When I said that, it was not inconsistent for Lieutenant Robitson to open the airlock on the research section and for the bursting sound and pressure to come from the front of the airlock.

"Boo-hoo!?"

Huh!?

Oops.

"Cumming!?"

Lieutenant Robitson and I stepped under the blast pressure, and Tina and Whisker dodged the airlock to the left and right, reacting as if they knew what was going on. It seems that Kugi pulled the whisker silently toward her to gain nothing.

"Again......"

"My ears are feeling weird... ahhh"

Neither I nor Lieutenant Robitson seem to be injured, but my ears have changed. Is it because they were exposed to sudden pressure changes in a closed environment? Maybe it was the life support systems, including the Lesterious air conditioning system, or the damage control system that didn't kill me.

Are you always like this?

Unfortunately...

Lieutenant Robitson, who had been subjected to pressure from the research section in front of him, lightly wipes off his dusty military uniform and hair and exhales a sigh. Hey, it's him, right? Now, are the scientists or the researchers here quite eccentric?

When I became an eccentric scientist in my life, only Shoko-sensei with long hair and good-looking glasses came to mind... I wonder if she's doing well. I'm a little worried that you might be in trouble because there's a surprisingly loose place called Doji.

"That's why you said the shield strength estimate was sweet." Look at this tragedy. If Colonel Serena or Lieutenant Robitson finds out, it's a big deal. "

"I admit it was a sweet quote." But no one is hurt, and the equipment isn't so broken. Besides, I got some meaningful data, so I'm Yoshi. "

Desolate - so many things scattered that they can only describe them - two researchers in the lab. Around it, spheres floating in the sky with robot arms with dents and scratches all around were scratching and cleaning. Maybe an assistant robot or something.

"Shall we, Captain Robitson?"

“Please explain. Right now, I'm trying to be cool.”

I feel like I can see a rough bear aura across Captain Robitson's back, spoken to by a female scientist. To put it badly, I think it's going to be a knockout with my rigid arm... and when I thought about it, I noticed that the female scientist who was talking to Lieutenant Robitson was looking at me.

I don't know what she looks like, because she's wearing a full-face, weird mask for an experiment.

She was quite tall - as much as I am - and the female characteristic bulge was pushing up the chest of the experimental clothes, so it was only known that she was "she", and she was not even able to identify herself with other factors.

"I didn't expect to see you here." Kushibu---isn 't the face of the woman you're with look different? "

Sta and the female scientist who walked up to me turned to me. I don't know. I'm not sure because it's through the mask, but is this stingy?

"No, who... no way." Could it be Professor Shoko? "

Unlikely, her voice was too similar to the one in her head.

"That's right. At first glance, it's so sentimental... I see, you wore a mask."

That's why I take off the mask that the female scientist was wearing. It was undoubtedly Professor Shoko who took care of us in the Alain system from under the strange mask. The dark brown long hair, the slightly wild glasses, and the slightly sleepy eyes in the back are exactly what I remember.

"It's been a while, Hiro-kun. I've heard rumors about the wind."

"It's been a long time, but... why are you here?"

I don't understand the meaning. Why is she here as a military scientist? She is a female physician in Inagawa Technology who was stumbled upon in the Alein system.

I think I heard that she was originally from a research field, but I didn't think she was on board Lestarius to study the balls in a place like this, and I can't imagine why she's on this ship, no matter how much she thinks about it.

"Well, that's it." Uh, career progression. So when I seconded to the army, I ended up coming to Edgeworld for some reason... can you put my story aside and answer my questions? "

"Oh, Mimi and Elma are on the boat." When it comes to technical matters, all three of you, including me, are in trouble. I simply came as a captain to accompany the crew's girls. "

"Hmm, I see..."

Did you agree? Shawko-sensei muttered and turned his gaze to the mechanic sisters and Kugi. He turned his gaze to me again.

You still look like you.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm just like me. I'm not here."

Shoko-sensei laughs and slaps me on the ass. Don't do this. If Dr. Shoko touches my ass, I'll be reminded of my bad memories.

"... it looks like you don't need an introduction."

Lieutenant Robitson murmured as he watched with interest the interaction between me and Dr. Shoko.

"To Hiro-kun." Your girls will need it, so I'll give them my own name. My name is Shoko. I'm a scientist at Inagawa Technology, and I've done a lot of work for Hiro in the Alain system before. Thank you. ”

Having said that, Shoko-sensei showed her an elusive smile.
