I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary
# 148 Medal and Isatsu
After the screening of the outline holo video of the battle using the large holographic display, the medal ceremony began. Holo videos begin to flow again from the beginning on the large holographic display, explaining the chronological order of the officers of the Imperial Space Force and the mercenaries who participated in the campaign this time. There were various reasons for the award, but all officers who were awarded by the Imperial Space Army were so-called captains, both large and small. The Imperial Space Force also operates a small battleship similar to Krishna. Since it is impossible to cope with a large number of small crystal creatures only with a large ship larger than a destroyer or a super large ship, a small fighter that performs what is called air defense combat is also deployed in the Imperial Space Force It has been. In particular, the outpost seemed to have many such small warships, and more than half of the Imperial Space Command's medal appeared to be captains of such small warships. He has also been awarded the Order of the Copper Shield Wing and the captain of a large battleship over destroyers. Major Serena also appeared to have been honored in this battle. It is said that she was awarded a gift to a ship that struggled while protecting allies in battle and suppressing damage. Basically, the medals awarded this time are like copper, silver, and gold ranks, with swords, shields, and assault modifiers. For example, a medal in bronze sword, a silver sword, or a gold sword can be successful in attacks such as shooting down enemy aircraft. If you make a defeat in defense combat or turn around to protect your allies, it will be a bronze shield medal, silver shield medal, gold shield medal. Since the medal actually given at this place is a bronze sword wing medal or a silver sword wing medal, it is supposed that the medal in space combat probably has wings. If this is a remarkable achievement in melee combat, wouldn't it be winged? There may be more in kind. In this case, only those who are in combat jobs can be awarded. There may be medals for replenishment, maintenance, and various other achievements, but it seems that there will be a medal for war merit here, so it seems that there is not much relation now. I don't think this is all about the medal of war. And there are no medals with qualifiers like the silver sword wing medal that I will receive at the moment. It is roughly a copper sword wing medal or a copper shield wing medal. Did the captain and one of the mercenaries of a small ship of the Imperial Space Force who played an active part in air defense battles receive the Silver Sword Wing Medal?
"Then, last but not least, the captain Hiro, who won the medal of the silver sword wing, won the medal of the first place in the campaign, which greatly shifted the trend of the battle. Captain Hiro, forward."
Get up from your seat and move to a commander-like military at this base who will give you your medal. There is no problem with the procedure of receiving the award, since I have been watching the manners so far. Well, it's not too difficult to say manners, just walk to the front and get a salute if you have a medal on your chest. This salute was a common salute of raised hands, similar to what is used in the original world as the so-called "army salute". Strictly speaking, the angle of the hand, the way of raising the hand, and the direction of the palm are quite different, but do not worry about mercenaries because they do not seem to be told so much.
"Without your presence, several of those standing here would have died, and hundreds of his men would have followed the same fate. They are rarely worn, and we look forward to more achievements worthy of that medal. "
I got the medal, saluted silently, and turned back. In such a case, don't hit the extra mouth. As the great man said, my medal seemed to be the last, and when I returned to my seat, the great man came in. The contents are ... For the soldiers, this is the top reminder of this outpost and should be taken seriously, but it has nothing to do with me. In the first place, I didn't fight for the Empire, just because I could make money and manage to do it. It is troublesome for me to say that the fate of the empire or the protection of the lives and property of the subjects by our work. I'm an adult, so I pretend to be listening, but only about 20% of that content comes into my head. As I pretend to hear what I was doing, I was observing officers and mercenaries gathering at this medal ceremony. The officers seem to be grateful to hear the instructions of a great military commander who seems to be the commander of the base, but most of the mercenaries seem to be hearing like me. And when you listen and say what you're doing, you seem to be watching me. It's strange to see mercenaries a while ago, and it's true. Well, we do not recognize each other's faces. In particular, I haven't had a single colony-based base for long periods of time so far, and there are no acquaintances. It might be a good idea to decide what the colony will be based on somewhere. A place that is not inconvenient for purchasing materials, ammunition, food, and so on, has a branch office of Space Dwelling, and should not be bothered by the presence of the pirates to be hunted. If you think so, wasn't the Brad system bad? ...? No, it's good for shopping, reloading ammunition, and maintenance of the aircraft, but the colony is overwhelmed by dwarf standards. There was a feeling that I was stuck with a technician aiming for Krishna, and there is no such thing. There is Mimi's goal, to taste gourmet food in the galaxy, and is it still too early to decide on a base? The story of the great man was over while thinking and skipping, and the dissolution was brought. The grandfather first leaves the venue, followed by senior officers and more. Serena, who turned her face towards me, was so impressive.
"Is it okay to go?" "Yes, I think it's good"
May says so, so I also stand up to the exit. What is the meaning of sitting in a special seat where only one person stands out? I guess it was just a special treatment because it was the first place in war performance. I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I didn't feel so good as if I had been exposed. I was spotlighted.
"I'm gonna go back. Maybe you have a request."
When I tried to leave the room, I was blocked. To be precise, someone stood as if blocking the course. Unfamiliar face-ah, this is that one. A young mercenary who met his eyes when entering this venue.
"Is it for something?"
I don't have a good feeling, but I'll ask. Most of the survivors are mercenaries, and some appear to be Imperial Space Force officers. They are observantly watching me and his appearance in front of me.
"What kind of squid did you use?" "Yes?" "I asked you what kind of squid you used." "Uh ...? Maybe I survived in the flock?" "What else? "
It was a troublesome guy. Looking at the glance around him, he does not seem to intend to take any particular action, such as shrugging his shoulders or crossing his arms to grin. That's right. I would do the opposite, or just ignore it and return to the ship.
"What kind of answer are you asking?" "What is it?" "If there's some kind of shit, there's no reason I'll tell you that? If so, why should I still be asked in such a quarrel. If you want to hear it, you will have a certain attitude. "
A young mercenary clenches his fist. What? what? Beating each other? I'm probably weak. I've trained since I came here, but I've never had a fight. For some time, Elma has learned the art of martial arts, but has never really beat anyone.
"I'm sorry if that's all I need. It's bad, but it's not time."
She shrugged and tried to pass by the young mercenary.
"Guaaaa !?"
A scream resounded in the room. Looking back, Mei was holding the wrist of a young mercenary. Looking at the man's position, he probably tried to grab my shoulder as he tried to rub him. That prevented Mei.
"I would like my husband not to touch my dirty hands."
Mei turns his gaze to a young mercenary, holding his wrist close enough to make a noise.
"Oh, I understand! I understand, let go!"
That is when May releases his hand from the man's wrist. Oh ... Is it okay? Is your wrist broken? With special metal muscle fibers, Mei's grip is comparable to or better than Power Armor. Had May been seriously squeezing his wrist, it would have been pretty splatter.
"If you have a weird connection, use your simulator to raise your arm and use it to make more money and buy a better boat. I've done it. I don't have anything special, really. "
He tells the young mercenary that he holds his wrist and glares and says nothing. Well, no treatment.
"Oh ... well, that's why. Tired. Everyone at the meeting is also tired."
I waved lightly and left the medal ceremony hall. After a short walk, I open my mouth.
"No, I'm scared. Mercenaries are so scared. I'm not good at hitting apts."
May is unusually leaning her head. It's very unusual for her to express her emotion in body language in this way, though she is still expressionless.
"I heard that in the Alain system, you wore power armor and were quite rampaged, and I think you fought quite a bit with me on the ship of Count Daleinwald, and in Sierra II you fired up against a combat bot, right? "It's a battle. Isn't the fighting of fights different?"
Mei seems confused. I'm confused, but is it something different? At least, fighting and quarreling are different for me. Whether you think differently or how you put your consciousness in different ways.
"More than that, what was that entanglement about?" "It's a common thing in a mercenary society where your skills are worth mentioning." "Is that so ... Hmm, wouldn't it have been better to receive and stand?" Is a kind of way to show off your strength.
Urges Mei who breaks the word.
"--Would it be possible if you thought you could beat it?" "I don't think so, but if I hold my breath, I'll do anything. I don't want to use it as much as I can't understand any mechanism. Yeah.
When I come to this world, I can make a very accelerated move by consciously holding my breath. It's convenient, but I don't want to abuse it because I don't know how it works. When I was consulted with Mr. Shoko, I was scared and couldn't tell. Even though I was told that I had an unknown gene, I was likely to be confined if I said that I had such a strange ability.
"Well, it's okay. I'm not going to stay here anyway. I'll just forget it." "I think you'll be staying at this outpost for a while depending on the request from the Imperial Army." "That's troublesome ... I guess it's buckle?" "Isn't it grudged by Major Selena?"
I looked up in heaven with light despair.
