I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary
# 150 Pre-negotiation
Mei's service provided bottles of purified water to everyone, and the negotiating and pre-negotiation began. I use difficult words, but in a nutshell, let's try to get the conditions right before taking action.
"For now, the commander has agreed to get you on our fleet." "That's good. It's much better than being assembled with each other knowing nothing." Even so, opponents who know their skills and a certain level of strength are easier to make a strategy, "" So what kind of difficulties were imposed? "
Elma says Major Serena raises her eyebrow.
"It's not a challenge. I was just tasked with investigating a bit more dangerous space."
Mimi listens back in a tense voice. I wonder if it's really small.
"Yes. Here, the Izulux system is a hyperlane hub system. Hyperlanes from five systems are concentrated in this Izuluks system, four of which are imperial territories, and one is a frontier zone "The frontier constellation hey ... what's the research vessel?" "The research fleet once headed for exploration in the past, but has not returned. The resources of the Great Empire are not infinite, You have deployed an outpost and defense forces in the Izruks system and allocated resources to the other side for development. "" I see. Private research vessels? " Not that none of the ships returned.The reports of the returned private research vessels ensured the existence of crystalline life, and this front base had more than usual "The power has been deployed." "Is the result of this enhancement Major Serena?" "No. We are an additional reinforcement to the increased activity of the crystal creature. It's temporary." …… and if we asked for a request, we would accompany Major Selena ’s fleet to investigate the unexplored area. ”“ Yes. Encounter with crystal creatures and high probability of battle "Well, what's the reward?" "400,000 energy per 24 hours." "It's stuck a lot ..." "Yonjumanen ..."
Tina mutters with a stunned expression, and Whisker is curled up with her eyes rounded. Mimi and Elma have a difficult expression. Maybe I have the same look.
"I'm absolutely afraid to go with the crush."
I'm afraid the rewards are too high. The feeling of being too expensive and being engaged in something dangerous is amazing.
"We don't want to do that. This amount is a legitimate appreciation of your ability and expectation of work." "Expectation of work, hey ..."
I'm scared because it seems to be used. Well, why not say it here?
"You said you didn't intend to crush it, didn't you?" "Yes? I told you ..." "If you think you're crazy, listen to my advice Make a promise here, it's okay between me and the major, informally and personally, until the contract says that if we think it's dangerous, we can escape on our own I won't say that, I'll get a job. "
Serena put his hand on the well-formed chin, thought a little, and nodded.
"Okay, let's make a promise. I listen to you and give priority to the safety of the lives of all crew, including you. Is this okay?" "Do you have anything from them?" "No, what Hiro said is OK" "I have no complaints" "Tina and whisker?" There's nothing from them ... "" Sister, report "" Ah, Seyana. Um, Major, "" Yes, what? "
Major Serena tilts her neck to Tina's call.
"Uchira ... No, we keep a diary to report to the company. Is it okay to report the contents of the future in a diary?" I don't think there's a problem with what I saw and heard on this ship, but should I check it just in case? "Censoring?" To prevent accidents, it's completely good intentions. "
Major Serena turns his eyes on me who has turned brown.
"I check the content every day, so I don't think there's any problem. I'll send you the checked one just in case." "Yes? If so, please do it."
May bows her head. Rather, it's a bit of a Mei censorship. What is the reason why Tina looks like "What?" Did the whisker know because the whisker did not respond specifically? I don't know why Tina.
"After that, it's a matter of position ... Is it the same as before?" "Yes. You're a direct reporter of yours, and your command is solely with me, the Commander of the Fleet." "OK. , Please let me go to the mercenary guild with the content I just discussed, "I understand" "The rest is about replenishment, but the black lotus has a lot of cargo capacity because I lowered the cargo." "It is good. It would be very helpful if you could load some supplies here. "" But, of course, it can't be free. "
Hikuri and Major Selena twitch her cheeks. That's right, safe space in outer space isn't available for free.
"Well, listen to the story until the end. It's not about trying to get more money."
He opens his mouth with his arms outstretched to Major Serena, who turns his suspicious gaze.
"When you leave the system after work, it's no wonder you're going to leave it empty. So we want to load something. So we'll load our supplies with our supplies for our operations. Instead of contributing to the operation, I want you to be smart when procuring materials derived from crystal creatures after completing the request. ”“… Hum ”“ We will help the major to the maximum extent. I ask you to help me as much as possible within the scope of my ex officio. I think it's a fair deal, but how about? "" I'll ask you just to make sure, but the cleverness is ... " Well, it means that we want the military to buy reliable materials that guarantee quality at the lowest possible price. "
I remember when I first met Major Serena. She is a person with a strong sense of justice who is fraudulently harsh. I'm not stupid enough to ask such a person to divert.
"It's good. I have an acquaintance in the accounting department so I'll arrange it. Last but not least, I'll have it here for replenishment during my mission. However, the luxury goods are different." Then, I will send the loadable amount later as data. "" Okay, so this is it. "
Major Serena stood up, and all of them forsaw her and his two men.
"That's all for the moment, so please decide." "Yes," "I understand," "I'm smart," "O, oh," "O, I understand."
After all the mechanic sisters are a little scared. Well, I can't help but. Ordinary people do not go to the frontier area where crystal life forms are. The fear of erosion assimilation by crystalline organisms generally seems to be quite widespread.
"Don't worry if you don't worry too much about Black Lotus being attacked directly, so don't worry. The situation where gunboat-specific Black Lotus is exposed to direct attack is almost entirely gone. Before that happens, Major Serena will retreat, so it's safe to assume that Black Lotus will not be at stake in practice. " "Do not worry"
Tina, whisker and mei. Krishna, with me, Mimi and Elma, will be in short-range combat with the crystal creature. Well, as long as you don't interact with the great flock. There is also a major fleet.
"Is it supposed to be resupplied?" "Yes. As he said, there were twelve anti-ship reaction torpedoes on the Black Lotus in addition to the four on Krishna." The person in charge, I was twitching my face. ""
Actually, I tried to get 20 spares apart from the ones I had on Krishna, but I was told that I could only give out twelve. Well, depending on how you use it, it can't be helped because it is a dangerous substance that can destroy the colony in one shot.
"Water, food and household goods have been replenished at the Brad Prime Colony, and during the march it is said that there will be supplies from the army ... Yeah, as soon as I asked for a request and loaded supplies from the army But can you sortie, how is the ship being maintained? "
We talk to mechanic sisters who are still nervous. I hope that you can relax a little by talking everyday.
"Now, Krishna is over. Black Lotus also has a detailed check, so it's all over today." "This time, Black Lotus is attacking with full power. And I'm also checking the degree of wear and tear of the equipment.I haven't seen any major problems at this time. "" Yes, I'll continue to ask. " When they arrive, they will contact you when they have arrived, until they have done what they need to do, ask them to be free, and stay on board if possible. There are no tourist spots. "
Everyone returns a consent. What do I do? I don't have to do anything until I get in touch ... but I don't have any special purpose, but I'll probably look around at everyone until time. It's going to be a bit of a risky request that is different from dealing with pirates. The crew's mental care is also the job of the captain.
