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

The damage of the second reconnaissance fleet was minor. The direct damage to the second anti-pirate fleet, the main force of the second reconnaissance fleet, was as much as two corvettes serving the avant-garde were pierced through shields and damaged some armor. There is no human damage.

However, two accompanying mercenary ships were sunk, leaving three dead. Apparently, it wasn't good to go into a storm with the crystal creatures ambush attacking. In addition to the two wrecked ships, several damaged ships were identified, and emergency repairs were to be carried out on ships with hangars and maintenance facilities.

"..."

"I have something to do"

"..."

"Tongue !?"

Arriving at Black Lotus for repair was the young mercenary who spoke a little at the entrance to the ceremony and was a little entangled on the return of the ceremony. I haven't heard the name after all ...

"Ah, you didn't hear the name? I'm Hiro."

"... Wade"

He extended his hand for a handshake, but was passed through. You ... I'm dealing with an adult. Well, there's no way to get angry here, and there's nothing you can gain from fighting.

"OKOK ... oh, drink? Water?"

"I don't need it."

A young mercenary upgrade Wade glares at him with a gorilla. This seems useless. Well, if you don't care, you won't care. Krishna's maintenance and replenishment is over, and nothing is done until the next battle.

"Then I'm resting on a boat, so if you have anything, let me know via the dwarf mechanic sisters working here."

"..."

What's wrong with his attitude? Jealous? Well, I'm better than him, I have a big mother ship, and I have Mimi, Elma and Mei. I don't know how to be jealous!

Ha ha ha! I'm not irritated, I'm not irritated. Yup.

Returning to the cockpit with a smiling smile, Mimi and Elma, who had revived to some extent, were watching a monitor that seemed to be displaying some sort of information.

"What are you looking at?"

"It's the integrated data from the previous battle. I did it, this ship is the top ace."

"Amazing, Hiro-sama!"

"Haha, I guess so. Praise me more."

When I was praised by them, the irritability I had just disappeared. If you think about it, I don't have to disturb my heart by dating the jealousy of the young mercenary. If you hit me, I will hit you back.

"What's wrong?"

Elma tilts her head, as if my feeling of sacrifice was transmitted. I don't usually say much about compliments. Did you notice from that?

"I was just a little intimidated by a young mercenary who came to repair the ship. Don't worry."

While sitting on the pilot seat, I also refer to the integrated data of the previous battle. Is 153 killed?

"The torpedo that had Elma adjust the explosion distance worked."

"Yes, the enemies have been quietly reduced with that."

"I'm not going to be humble, but it's Hiro's suggestion, and it's Hiro's credit, rather than my credit, because it's a feat of shooting and evading herds while attracting herds. I can't do that kind of pervert. ''

"It's not a pervert maneuver. Anyone can work hard and practice."

"Yes yes"

My claim was sloppy. why. You can do it by practicing hard. Just look at the radar, anticipate the enemy's movements, and move the aircraft off its trajectory. It's a good idea to start with a low-rank seeker missile with a slower bullet speed.

"It's a schedule for the future, but it looks like we'll stay here for a while to rest, repair, and intercept."

"Intercept?"

"Yes. This system is also a hub system with a hyperlane extending in four directions, so we will repair and rest here and investigate where the crystalline life forms come from and if there are any other lurks in this system. I also look for traces of past fleets of incidents. ''

"I see"

"In addition, it seems that we will cancel the distribution of forces in case there is an ambush like this time. It seems that we will be acting together in two fleets in the future"

"I see"

In this case, the travel time in the hyperlane was short, but it was in time, but it would have taken a few hours, and the second reconnaissance fleet might have suffered more. Then I think I could earn more defeat scores, but Black Lotus would have been more at risk.

"I think it's like the basics of the basics that you should stop distributing and successively distributing your strength."

"I don't know if you can move them all at once because there is a risk that they will be suddenly destroyed by an unexpectedly large force. This strategy is only for reconnaissance, and it is necessary to make sure that information can be brought back. I don't think it's a mistake to operate the unit separately and in the rear unit. ''

"In such a crisis situation, there is a way to stop a small number of boats on other boats. If you want to bring information back home, isn't that hand good?"

"But in that case, wouldn't all but the few ships who bring back the information be destroyed? The remaining strength would be greater if the two units were annihilated and only the leading unit was annihilated. You'll earn enough time to evacuate. ''

"If you do two fleets like this time, there is a risk that the opponent who will not cause damage will reduce the strength ... Well, it is difficult to judge, but if you decide so, we will follow Until. "

"Yes"

Just after the tactical discussion with Elma was over, communications came in. Mimi operates the console to open the communication line.

"Yes, this is Krishna. Yes, yes. Wait a minute ... Hiro-sama."

"Hmm? What's wrong? From whom?"

"From Major Serena. I'll put it on the monitor."

"Oh"

Communication from Major Selena? What is it for? He tilts his inward mind, but he can't help revealing it.

Soon after, Major Serena appeared on the cockpit's main monitor. It is a white military uniform dressed as usual.

"First of all, congratulations on winning the Top Ace.

"That's right. It looks like we'll be all right with the wear."

"Yeah, I don't want to go crazy."

"As expected, the Imperial Space Force is elite.

I will make a quick cut to the main subject. I'm afraid to get weird from a casual story.

"I'm impatient, you're right. It's not something you should be wary of."

"I wish it was so."

"I'm going to have 24 hours of rest, so I'd like to have a meal on the top ace of the Silver Sword Wing Charge Medal."

"Meal ... I don't think it's more delicious."

"Close your eyes there. I'll serve you alcohol too."

"You know I'm Shimoto?"

I'm vulnerable to drinking so much that a can of heel can be a bellon bellon. I don't find any appeal when I say sake.

"Well, think of it as a reward or a reward for the top ace. It's the best menu you can have in Restalias."

"Gold is better than food and sake ..."

"Of course I will do that too, because prize punishment is necessary to maintain morale."

Smiling Serena smiles. I see.

"So how do you spread what good treatment I get and how much bonus I get from a top ace, which would make me not only envy but jealousy?"

"I'm gonna tell you, you're making a solid battle worth it. In fact, if you don't give you a bonus or preferential treatment, It's a measure, a vessel is suspected, and it's hard to get rumored that the galaxy-famous Imperial Space Force won't reward the top ace after the war. "

"In other words, there is no veto"

"I won't say that, but I'd like you to take it if possible."

He sighs looking at Serena's face as she keeps her smile and turns her glances to Elma sitting on the sub-pilot seat next to her.

"I can't help it."

Then he looks at Mimi.

"I want to eat the best menu of the Imperial Space Force"

"Goodbye ..."

Mimi won't shake. But I'm a little interested in the best menu of the Imperial Space Force.

"Okay, I get that offer. When should I go there?"

"That was good. Please come to the hangar in Restalias an hour and a half later. Are you only here?"

"May needs to be left by Black Lotus, and the seconded mechanic is busy maintaining the mercenary ships. Only three of us go."

"Okay, one and a half hours later. Oh, please give me a medal properly."

Saying that, Major Serena cut off the communication. My sigh resounds in the quiet cockpit.

"Isn't it being taken in smoothly?"

"I don't think it's taken in ... but well, if you're mercenary, you're going to be involved with the army.

"Such a thing ... well, let's expect the food that comes out."

"Yes!"

"Yeah. Alcohol."

Mimi and Elma are full of fun. I was called by a great man and only felt like a dinner or annoying ... but I sighed again.
