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

Now, while the White Blades trained us not to die instantly, Black Lotus, with us and Krishna on board, was on his way to the capital system of the imperial Graccan Empire with the Independent Fleet against the Thieves led by Major Serena.

It was me who passed out after waking up and spitting blood reflexes many times until I fell asleep, and on top of not remembering getting a decent sleep because of the pain, even the few sleeping while I was asleep, wearing a sleep-learning device plated headgear made me feel weird about time, but it seemed that sometime about ten days had passed.

"I don't care how many times I look at it"

"I'm sorry about the breakfast."

"Wow. We've never seen it before."

"Um, it's big. I think we can make it a little smaller."

Only Whisker commented differently in color, but we were on our way to the Neepak system, where the gateway existed. They were passing through the Dexar system where Chris' home is on the way, but I didn't notice at all because Mae was boggling me or knocking me into manners. They just really passed, so I wouldn't have been able to go see him where I noticed.

"You're going straight to Imperial City on the gateway, right?

"You will. Thanks to the Gateway Network, the Empire is a long way from home."

"For someone who's free to use the gateway, right?

"Well, yeah."

Let Elma flaunt her shoulders at my point.

Thousands of light-years, tens of thousands of light-years. Gateways are very convenient to jump over in an instant, but gateways are not freely available to 10,000 people. Even aristocrats say that it takes a lot of work to use it, and that permission to use it rarely goes down to other ordinary people, such as mercenaries and pedestrians.

Even in the SOL I used to do in the original world, access to the gateway is very limited, and I hardly remember using it within the SOL myself. There was talk that if we deepened our relationship with the Galactic Empire with the gateway, we'd get permission to use it, but I didn't have any luck playing rootless mercenaries, did I?

"In the first place, few people get out of the colony where they were born and raised. Empire is a long way from home, after all."

"Let it go. Is getting out of a colony a shipbuilding company like ours or not as good as a trade relationship?

"I guess the rest is about the military. How can a mercenary be?

"Uh, they have some kind of training school array. I don't know much about it."

I think I heard that in a mercenary guild before. Well, I don't think that's the case with guys who go out of their way to be mercenaries in search of thrills. I don't even know if I would have stood up as a mercenary if I hadn't Krishna and been thrown out into a colony by myself.

"How did your brother become a mercenary?

"... well, in the stream?

When I woke up, I was in Krishna drifting through space, and I felt like I was paying back because I was attacked by a space thief on a fast track... and then I was already a mercenary in full flow. That's what I was told. Thank you, Elma.

"In the flow... well, brother, I don't remember. You did it. Sorry."

"I have nothing to apologize for. I think I'm lucky."

I don't dare to put it in my mouth, but I met Mimi and Elma, and Mae and Chris and Tina and Whiska, and Major Serena - no, Major Serena doesn't. Anyway, I've met everyone. Dr. Shawko is... yeah, because his ass is going to muzzle when I remember. Yeah.

"Oh, here we go. Sounds like our order."

"Oh, I'm so excited. What's it like?

"Looking forward to it, sister"

I'm sorry I'm excited, but that excitement is going to betray you. When I turned my eyes to Mimi, she was sending a raw warm gaze to the mechanic sisters, just like me. Ha, Mimi got excited like that and ate her shoulder watermark.

The fleet moves forward and enters a distorted space that emits the incredible phosphorescence that exists between a pair of giant structures. The sight of a leading corvette or destroyer emitting light and disappearing is truly mysterious.

"Oh, oh... come, wee"

"Oh, sister..."

The mechanic sisters hold each other's hands as they watch space distortion loom over the holo display.

A cruiser that had sailed just a short time ago let the light shine and disappeared.

And -.

"Huh? That's it. What?

"... that's so lame."

There was no roar that could be heard when the superlight speed drive was started or stopped, or the sight of a hyperspace of extreme color that was visible during the hyperdrive, on the contrary, there was nothing to glow about, and the footage shown on the pah holo display was switched.

"Well, I guess this is the real warp guy"

"Ha... wow"

"I know the outline of the theory, but it's really amazing. Um, I can't lose, either."

Teena's been around and impressed, but isn't Whiskey flying in some direction the day after tomorrow? Sometimes you don't know about Whisker, I do. Sometimes you get weirdly more conscious as a technician, Whisker.

"Whatever it is, you're safe. Welcome to the capital system of the Graccan Empire. That's where my parents live, Grakius, the Imperial City."

"Hmm...?

When I saw the footage on the holo display, I accidentally frowned.

Given its size, it's probably a planet. However, as far as its surface is concerned, the sea and so on are not visible, and on the contrary, no natural shapes are found. All the planetary surfaces are covered with artifacts.

"Ecumenopolis......? Was it something that could be achieved...?

"Oh, you know quite an old word. Now it's simply called an urban planet."

"I see... so, you mean, you mean, you're talking about me, right?

"That's right. So the city planet itself is the Imperial City of Grakius. Welcome to the heart of the Empire, the Empire of China."

That's what Elma smiled and showed.

Before we go down to the Imperial Capital, we are going to stop at one of the colonies built in the Metropolitan System, the Grakius Secondary Colony. He said he would be checking the shipment here, conducting various inspections, as well as procedures for staying in the capital.

In other words, this Grakius Secondary Colony acts like a castle gate to enter the Imperial Capital. Almost all the merchants and other merchants who have brought various goods and materials to Teito are leaving Teito after running errands in these colonies. Because it seems that the cost of staying is very high on top of the cumbersome process required to descend to the Imperial City. No, they say it's not as expensive as a resort system on a boulder.

"So, what am I supposed to do?

That's what I said when the anchorage at the colony was complete and May showed up in the dining room as well.

No, I don't even have to wonder for myself what the captain would do if he didn't show leadership at a time like this, but honestly now I'm semi-compulsory Major Serena or State power pulled me this far, and unlike usual, I don't have the lead in my hands.

I think Major Serena is bad for pulling all this off but not giving any instructions in particular. No, it's not that Major Serena hasn't given me instructions, it's just that I wasn't able to take Major Serena's instructions. I'm sure you do.

"Major Serena said he would do all the procedures regarding the ceremony with the military, so he also said he would do all the descent procedures and so on over there. As far as I'm concerned, I suggest you keep your face on this colony mercenary guild."

"Mercenary guild? Oh, with that said, you said Major Serena should rely heavily on the mercenary guild if she goes to the Empire City. I don't know what to rely on when I say I rely on it."

"I was wondering if I could ask you about the details there as well. Mercenary guilds in the capital system will have the know-how for mercenaries to successfully embellish nobility."

"I see?"

Well, if May recommends it, it doesn't look like there's any mistake, and you want to go?

"Then I guess I'll go. Will Mimi and Elma be here, too?

"Right. We have to get dresses and ornaments, and we need mercenary guilds to explain what's going on."

"Ugh, is that a dress..."

Mimi gives me a bitter look when I'm not very good at hilarious dresses. He doesn't seem to like me very much, but I think he looks good. I am.

"Well, so are we."

"Sister, you have to get in touch with the branch office."

"Uh, a little bit. Yeah?

"I don't like to be told later that I don't like Netineties, me"

"Ugh... the guys in Imperial City don't seem to like it"

The mechanic sisters apparently need to run errands in connection with Space Dwelg. But thank you. You get the impression from what you two say and do that you hate the Imperial Branch.

Is that it, or is there something like a faction in the same dwarf? Don't feel like that. Don't touch me because I'm scared.

"What about May?

"I remain on the ship. We'll get back to you as soon as we hear from you."

"Okay. I got it."

"Yes, leave it to me"

May smiles slightly. Yeah, Mae's been softening her expression lately, too. If you're not used to seeing it, you won't be able to notice any changes at all.

"Then let's go..."

"Hiro, go back to your room and bring the Silver Sword Wing Assault Medal and the sword."

"... don't you need it?

"I need it. I'll follow it properly because it makes it easier to explain the situation. Yes. Run."

"Er..."

"Because it's cooler to put it on"

"Nooo."

In the end, Elma and Mimi pushed me off to put a glitter medal on my chest and put two swords on my hips to take me to the mercenary guild. I can't solve it. Nothing. I think a laser gun is enough.
