I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary
# 157 Dinner and strange person
"So, toast to victory"
"cheers"
Dinner begins with Colonel Broadwell, the top class, taking the lead.
I heard that it was the best menu in the Imperial Space Army, and I was expecting what would come out, but the menu itself was not new. It's like a Neapolitan pasta and steak plate and a consommé soup in a mug.
First, while leaning his head, "Is this the best menu?", He first cut the steak with a knife and fork and brought it to his mouth.
The meat is a little firm, but the more you chew it, the more the juice overflows into your mouth. The fried garlic garnish is savory, and the sliced onions that were baked together on the plate are in good condition like fire-yeah?
"Do you use real meat and vegetables ..."
He understands what Serena said to be the best menu and growls. It is possible to reproduce a similar menu with an automatic cooker that uses a food cartridge, but again the real thing is different.
Looking at Mimi, who is also carrying the steak in her mouth, she was eating delicious steak with sparkling eyes.
"Well, does the Hero of the Silver Sword Wing Assault Medal also have a gastronomic side? It's surprising."
"It's not really a gourmet, because there is a chance to eat real meat as it is and some crews like to eat later."
"Hi, Hiro ..."
With that said, I look to Mimi sitting next to me. The person who gazes at me is shy, but I like Mimi who eats deliciously. I'll be fine after watching.
"HM……"
Colonel Broadwell looks interesting while watching my response and Mimi's reaction. What is it? If you have something to say, be clear.
"Are you ready to resume your action?"
"Of course. We plan to take 12 hours for emergency repairs on the damaged ship, 12 hours for rest, and resume operations 24 hours later. Now we have a safe ship inspecting the system. "
"I see. I hope they have some clues."
As I tell Colonel Broadwell, I recall the questline related to crystal life in SOL. After the assault event, the repulsion event, and the investigation event, it should have been the flow of the hometown attack event. The current stage will be part of the research event. Regarding the investigation, I'm a mercenary because I was almost touchless, so I remember it. That's because players who play explorers who do research on undiscovered stars and planets worked hard.
"Somehow you're not very mercenary. It feels like you're talking to the same soldier or aristocrat."
"I also understand what His Excellency Broadwell said. Whether he was a mercenary, it was strangely elegant or he did not feel rubbed."
Captain Robbitson, Lieutenant of Major Serena, nods while cutting the steak with a knife. Even though it looks classy in my response, the general mercenaries behave so crudely.
"I don't know well ...
"Aren't women more so than us?"
"Yeah, we have to make the interior of the ship like a cabin on a luxury cruise liner to ensure the comfort of the crew, and I think it's really gentleman in our handling."
Elma nodded at the words of Captain Plant, the aide to Colonel Broadwell, and Mimi nodded silently.
Huh ...? Even if it's a gentleman, they have a firm hand on them, and the gentleman's part doesn't look like a fragment from me.
Or did they both think that way? Really?
"It feels like I'm being put on everyone here ... Why don't I put my side aside?"
"I can't help but say that. Then, can I ask what I want to hear personally?"
"I will answer if I can answer it."
What is it? Interrogation time? Will Mimi and Elma help me, aside from Serena on the other side?
"The ship you are on-Krishna, where did you get that ship? I'm still pretty good at ships, but I've heard of such ships There aren't many.The ship on which the mercenary rides often loses its original shape due to remodeling, but that ship looks like another dimension from the design philosophy. "
The fastball flew from the first ball.
"I'm sorry, but I can't say that. I promised I wouldn't tell anyone where I got that ship. I don't know where the person who gave it is now."
"Hmmm ... can you show me later?"
"Yeah ... just to see"
"Okay, let's have a tour after the meal."
Colonel Broadwell nodded with satisfaction. I hope this smile is at face value, but isn't he trying to make Krishna his own? Gaze at Major Serena to raise concerns.
"Don't worry, the Imperial Space Army soldiers can't take a ship from a mercenary."
"Muh? I didn't think about that, right?"
"It's not that we know that Colonel Broadwell is a big fighter enthusiast and a mercenary enthusiast, but he isn't widely known among mercenaries, let alone Colonel Broadwell. He is a legitimate man-he is a noble, so it is natural that Hiro, who is ignorant of the circumstances, will be on guard. ''
Major Serena explains the intention of her remarks with a bitter smile to Colonel Broadwell, who has a disgusted expression. Hearing the explanation, Colonel Broadwell scratched his head badly.
"That was certainly not my concern. Mr. Hiro, my offer is really from a simple intellectual curiosity, so I don't need to be vigilant. Would you like me to take a holo photo with me? I'm collecting horo photos with a promising mercenary and the ship in the background. "
"Well, well.
I was apprehended by Colonel Broadwell's desperation. Mimi and Elma also nodded while eating, so it was decided to visit Krishna and take a photo session after this dinner.
How did this happen?
☆ ★ ☆
The dinner proceeded smoothly afterwards, with a special prize of one million energy. It is safe to say that the tour and photo session were over without any problems. Is that good?
"Is the frame boldly deformed and a large shotgun coming out ...!"
"This weapon system is revolutionary, but I've never seen it before."
"The number of attitude control thrusters is large. It seems that using a powerful generator to operate without any problems and improving motility, but this area is quite a skillful skill ... an experimental machine?"
To be honest, it was a bit strange that a large man holding a horo camera was running around Krishna and taking pictures with Kashaka while muttering. I was taking both the hangar in low gravity and taking pictures from the top ... Colonel Broadwell seems to have been a very enthusiastic small warship mania.
At the end, I took a holo photo with me, Mimi and Elma side by side with Krishna in the background, and even a holo photo that I joined.
"No, I got a good picture. Thank you."
It was impressive to have a good smile saying that the strict man was doing everything.
"... It was a strange person."
"Shhh, don't say it out."
"I think that reaction is rude, too ..."
It was a dinner where I realized that there were weird people among the soldiers.
