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

The sisters seemed to be taking a break during the maintenance bot recharge and self-maintenance hours, and returned to work with a reminder that maintenance had ended. I forsake it and head to the Black Lotus cockpit where May will be.

"How was your husband?"

As soon as he entered the cockpit, Mei looked back. Looking back at her wrist, a cord extends from the cockpit console. Probably, they are controlling Black Lotus via that code. But I'm not running the ship right now, so I don't know what she's doing.

"No, I'm thinking of seeing everyone before I ask for a request and leave the ship." "So here?" "Oh, I'm a crew."

It feels like a glimpse of a little happy emotion in the eyes shining behind the red frame. Although Mei's expressionlessness remains, she seems to be able to read subtle emotional changes recently. Rather than me being able to read, May's expression may be becoming richer. The appearance is almost the same, so even though the expression is rich, it is a very subtle change.

"My husband is a strange person." "Yes?" "Yes. In the empire, machine intelligence like me is guaranteed the right to morality under the law. It's another matter of whether moral rights are guaranteed and whether it's actually recognized by people. "

It's a bit hard to understand what May says. What does that mean?

"We, as well as people from other nations where the moral rights of machine intelligence have not been recognized, do not fully recognize the moral rights of machine intelligence. It's rare, but rarely, like a master, would you really recognize me as an individual, for example, if you're worried that you're going to a dangerous place like this and are coming to see you? "

With that said, Mei gradually became close to me and hugged casually. I was surprised and hugged by her tall girl, who was almost the same as my self, and couldn't move. I always think, why she smells so good when it should definitely be a machine? The slightly fragrant sweet smell always makes me throb.

"May?" "I'm a machine, but I'm scared of scary things. Crystal creatures eat not only organic creatures, but also machine intelligence like me. This body is no exception, and Mimi, Elma, and Tina Whisker will be devoured in the same way, they are my precious friends, and if they are devoured, Will be managed by sadness. ''

Mei said in a breath, and then stared at my face from a close distance, slightly weakening her arms that hugged me.

"More than anything, it's terrifying that you lose your master. Your master is my very existence. Even if Mimi and Elma survive, if you lose your master, It will break. ''

I nodded silently at May's serious expression.

"I don't really want you to ask for such a dangerous request. It's better to leave it to the Imperial Army, such as a crystal creature. The benefits you get for the danger are too small. Aiming at the pirates alone is less risky, more efficient, and helpful to many people, but the master will not abandon Major Selena. "

If I leave this system without helping Major Serena here and later hear that Major Serena has died on this battlefield, I will regret it. If you lend a hand there.

"So I won't stop. I'm just doing what I can." "I'm sorry." "No. I'm happy just to take care of this."

I hug Mei too. Her skeleton is a tough special metal, and her muscle is a special metal fiber. The soft skin is an artificially synthesized organic material, and the warm body temperature is the waste heat generated by her micro generator. Glossy black hair, beautiful eyes like obsidian and brilliant eyes are all confusing things made to imitate humans. Still, for me, May is May. It doesn't matter if it's real or misleading.

"Because there is no delay in crystal creatures," "Yes. I believe so." "Please believe me. I will never betray you."

We hugged each other for a while and then separated.

"Please leave the management and operation of Black Lotus. This ship is the place where the master returns. I will always protect it." "Trust it." "Yes. Please leave it."

With that said, I waved lightly at Mei, who bowed down, and I decided to head to Krishna, where Mimi and Elma would be.

☆ ★ ☆

Mimi and Elma were in Krishna's cockpit.

"What are you doing?" "Oh, Hiro-sama" "If you ask for a request, your opponent will be a crystal creature? Mimi is going to adjust Krishna's radar, so she was dating."

Although not as drastic, it is possible to increase radar sensitivity by making some targeted adjustments. Radar performance can be slightly increased by specializing in crystal creatures. Of course, the sensitivity is slightly lower for other objects because of the specialization.

"Isn't it possible to change the mode immediately by adjusting once and registering the preset? Is it a good idea to register in this case?" "It is a good attempt. If you can master it, you are a full-fledged operator ""I will do my best!"

Mimi gets excited and continues to operate the console. I managed to look at it from the cockpit entrance. When you see Mimi doing something like an operator in this way, don't recall the first time she got on the ship. I was anxious and nervous at that time, but now I am the other operator. How long have you met Mimi? When I am on a boat, the sense of time is blurred and I can't say anything, but it hasn't been a year yet. It may have been a talent to have raised this skill as an operator in less than a year, but it is a result of Mimi's efforts. If I had time, I used a tablet to study operators. When I was thinking, Mimi and Elma stared at me.

"What happened?" "Why are you worried about your request?" "No, that's not the case. I just thought that Mimi was fine, too." Isn't that true? I'm still a beginner. "

Mimi turns her face red and shakes her hands. Certainly, it's still fresh, but there's not much to get upset during the battle, and when you're working as an operator, you're starting to see something like confidence.

"Yeah. It's nothing like when I was in the Turmaine system." "Well ... what's up to Elma?"

Mimi swells a little with a shy expression, as if she thought she was teased.

"I don't know about Elma, but I'm seriously saying." "Oh, I'm serious too. Well, it might be natural if you were on Hiro's ship." "Yes, Hiro. Thanks to Mr. "" I? "" Yes.

Mimi nodded in Elma's words. Certainly, there will be more pirates defeated than other ships. That means, as Elma says, he gains more experience in combat. Certainly, gaining hands-on experience may lead to growth, but it is not a game, and that alone will not improve your skills as an operator.

"I think that's because Mimi studied harder than that." "It's also there. It's a gift of Mimi's efforts and Hiro's spartan combat experience." "Thanks to Elma's guidance "Yeah. That's right. It's all done." "... I guess. So, uh, what was it talking about?"

Elma, who turned her face a little red, tries to switch the topic.

"Is Elma a cute story?" "I'm pretty shy."

She apologizes to Ms. Mimi and Elmi who are angry.

"So what is Hiro doing?"

Elma reminds herself and asks her.

"I'm not doing anything else. I just wander around and see everyone." "Hmm ..."

Elma approaches me and sniffs.

"... Is it like you've made friends?" "Yada scared" "Smell of another woman ...!

Mimi laughs at Couscous when she sees Elma's exchange with me. Not a laugh. I'm really scared.

"Well then, why don't you get along with Mimi?" "It's a good idea." "Thank you for your hand." Hey! "

Elma grabs my left arm and Mimi grabs my right arm and begins to take him somewhere.

"First, let's eat delicious food in the cafeteria." "Yes. What should we do after that?" "Would you like to have a massage?" "Yes yes ... we will do anything."

A bitter laugh while being pulled by them. Well, let's accept a little use. If you ask for a request and sortie, you probably won't have time to get crazy.
