I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary
# 174 Viscount Willows Family People
Elma's brother, you - the rarity of Ernst suddenly signing up for a duel, but we came back to Black Lotus after shopping safely at the jewelry store.
"Are you sure you're glad I left you alone?
"Fine, if you leave that alone. Anyway, you're assuming that Hiro's doing me good because of his debt."
"I don't think it's a total mistake..."
At least, at first, Elma should have given herself to me on the grounds of three million Enel debts. Maybe. I still think that's probably not true. Nothing. I'm barely aware of my 3 million Enel debt anymore... and no, I don't know if I've even paid off just one Enel?
However, other than when I was drunk in the Alleyn system and bought alcohol, it doesn't look like I'm using it on Locke, and I'm guessing I have some ideas and haven't made any repayments. Maybe you're using me as a pretext to stay with me by leaving me in debt? I think. Well, I haven't checked with the person.
"Sure, the cutting-edge might have been. I want to be on Hiro's side now. As such, I plan to return the money collectively... but as of now, it's roughly 1.3 million, so it hasn't arrived in half yet."
"Eh, I'm roughly 380,000 Enel, right? It hasn't been six months..."
I sigh and tremble when I see the amount of rewards Elma and Mimi have earned so far on their mobile information devices and tablets.
Nothing. Mimi doesn't owe me anything, so all Mimi's holdings are hers. Sure, I paid 500,000 Enel to get Mimi out of the colony, but I'm not going to tell her to give it back. In the end, my debt to the colony will only replace my debt.
I mean, I'm not going to say this about the money we spent for the two of us now... well, maybe that's not how we're going to go about it as ourselves.
"Uh, yeah. You're back on the boat, so I have to put you in touch with Elma's parents, right?
"Right...... ha, that's a pain in the ass"
"Haha...... but isn't that good? It's a good thing you have a family to worry about. Hey, Master Hiro."
"Yeah, I guess so."
Mimi and I are lonely all the time. Apparently Mimi's parents went into other worlds in the accident, and given that she was on the verge of being miserable all by herself afterwards, I don't know what form her friendship with her grandparents and relatives is in, but she's broken.
Needless to say, as far as I'm concerned, I was drifting in this world on Krishna when I found out. There is no family in this world. The crew of the ship thinks it's the same.
"... right. I'll be in touch."
Thinking about our circumstances, Elma nodded with a look that looked like a pain in the ass.
"Let me be present, if you like. You're a crew on the same boat, so it's like family, right?
"Wow, let me be present too! Oh, I'll call Mae and Teena and the others too!
"Right. Will you?
Elma looked at Mimi with a smile as she manipulated the tablet and began to get in touch with Mae and Teena.
Mae showed up in the break room immediately as she remained on the boat, but Teena and the others appeared to be in the sales office of Space Dwelg Co. in the Grakius Secondary Colony, where she received a reply that attendance was difficult. Apparently the branch is located in the Grakius Prime Colony, where the large Ship Bay exists.
"Well, I'll put in some correspondence."
The time had been fixed for Elma to contact the Viscount Willows' house in advance and hold talks by correspondence. Or as soon as they contacted me, they talked about it. You'll want to make sure Elma's okay as soon as possible over there.
As soon as I put the comms in here, they responded, and three people were shown on a large holo display in the break room. One is a young man - that said, he looks older than Ernst, who has poked his sword at him earlier - and the other two are young women like sisters. Everyone has pointy ears, just like Elma, and all three have an atmosphere somewhat similar to Elma's.
"Father, mother, and sister. Long time no see."
"Elma... it seems important for now, above all else"
That's what an elf, a man with an eye resembling Elma, says as he leaks a breath of relief after he stares at Elma jizzily. In contrast, the two women have been looking at me with cancer.
"... because I heard you were a mercenary, I was wondering what kind of swollen big man you were."
"Unexpectedly, the lines are thin. Normal."
Which is your mother and which is your sister? As much as I'd like to say, we're both very young, or I feel like Elma's sisters. No, I guess one's a sister, so he's a sister.
"I'll introduce you. This is Hiro, captain of the ship I'm on and recipient of the Silver Sword Wing Assault Medal, a mercenary guild platinum ranker."
"I'll be the first to see you, my name is Hiro and I'm a mercenary. You may be offended by your humble death, language, etc. Thank you for your forgiveness."
I put my hand on my chest and made a gentle conversation. Three people across the holo display who saw my attitude like that give me a look of surprise with their eyes as patchy.
"Hey Hiro, my family's eating?
"Yeah? Did I do something wrong?
Anyway, nobles don't ask for court words from civilian mercenaries on boulders.
"I see. That's right, Mimi"
"Huh!? Ah... uh, it's Mimi. We are aboard a ship together, helped by Master Hiro and Mr. Elma in the Turmaine system. Best regards,"
Mimi also introduced herself and lowered her head with a peck. The same gaze of the Viscount Willows turned toward Mimi, where the Viscount, Elma's father, and one of the two women, peeled their eyes in gnaw. I mean, I saw Mimi twice. Is the other woman inclined to her neck for anything to catch on to?
"What's our Mimi?
'Yes, no. Nothing. It would be someone else's empty similarity...... Gohon. Excuse me. I am Viscount Eldomua Willows. This is my wife, Milfa, and my daughter, Elfin, Elma's sister. "
"My daughter is taking care of you"
"Nice to meet you."
A woman with long silver-haired elves who seems to have hips is her mother, Mr. Milfa, and it seems to be her sister, Mr. Elfin, who brings together long hair close to blonde hair into a large three-braid. Hmm. Overall youthful, including your father.
'It's about Ernst that I wanted to get in touch with urgently. Oh, Ernst is my son.'
"I've already met him when I was your brother. I've suddenly signed up for a duel with Hiro, so I've duly decorated it."
"... if you were safe, that's fine"
When Eldomua said so, he meditated his eyes and sighed.
"When I found out you were in the capital system, I jumped out of the mansion and headed to the Second Colony. I also knew Lord Hiro was receiving the Silver Sword Wing Assault Medal, so I was rubbing my mind in case anything happened. '
"I see. I mean, what was that demand for a mercenary guild? Viscount Willows, you're going to have to use the name of the house to hand me over immediately."
'What? I should have sent it in writing that I wanted to get in touch with you as soon as possible...?
"Didn't that fool confuse you with the contact he sent?
Mr. Elfin vomits a spicy word. That idiot means Ernst, right?
'Maybe so... I'll check with the Mercenary Guild later on about that. More than that, Elma, it's been five years since then. My engagement to Gilliam has disappeared, and I won't be forced to do it anymore. So come back.'
Mr. Eldomua comes to persuade Elma with a serious face. Gilliam? Engagement? Ha.
"I see, you jumped out under those circumstances"
"That's not all, but I'm sure the weights were pretty big. We'll talk about the situation later... Father, I'm not going home yet"
'Cause you still owe him, huh? That was definitely three million enels. That's how much I'll pay you from our assets. I'll pay you double or triple for anything. So come back, Elma. Life as a mercenary always goes hand in hand with danger, doesn't it? You don't have to keep doing that kind of dangerous work when you get home. "
"I do still owe Hiro, or a whole three million Enel because I haven't paid back one. But you can't ask your father to pay for that. I have to work properly and give it back to Hiro."
'I don't mind being so presumptuous, but you're part of the Viscount Willows family. Besides, I'm an unmarried girl. What it means to have a woman on a boat driven by a man's mercenary.'
"Of course I know, and that's the kind of relationship we already have."
That's what Elma hugged me from the side.
"Become -!?"
With that sight in sight, Eldomua opens her eyes with a stunned look, but soon she regains her mind and turns to her killer caged gaze.
"You think mercenary flair hurt my daughter...?
"Yeah, I did. I'm not gonna let Elma go."
I took that gaze straight from the front and said so.
'Well said, kid. Vote for you t - Ugh!?
Fists released from left to right pierce both flanks of Eldomua across the hollow display, and Eldomua can't stop stuffing. Needless to say, the Lord of his fists was Milfi, the mother of Elma, and Elfin, his sister.
"You can't be a man. Duel duel as soon as you need something...... not at all '
"The white blades of the brain miso muscle are enough for a fool's brother, father."
"In the first place, Hiro, you're a hero of the Silver Sword Wing Assault Medal, and you're talking about winning at least a silver star, maybe a gold star? Gold star winners treat themselves like like-minded Viscounts, and even if they don't, Hilo with the Silver Sword Wing Assault Medal, you treat them like knights, so there's no way you can duel that easily, is there?
An unrelenting waste strikes from both sides of Eldomua, squatting with his hands on the beaten spot. Well, I'm sorry, so why don't you stop with that?
"Or, you know, because I can't leave Hiro anymore..."
"Oh? Oh, oh, oh?
"Beyond you? Me, my sister crossed the line?
I heard Elma speak. Milfi and Elfin suddenly start to nibble. What? What did one word of Elma tell the two of you now?
"Hey, why would that be in the conversation right now?
"Oh, yeah... haha"
Sounds like Mimi knows something. What the hell is going on, I have no idea.
"Sounds like we need to discuss this with a lot of people."
"There's nothing to hide now, so I'll tell you everything later. Later."
'Can I talk to you now?
'Yes, yes. I'll listen to you.'
"My mother and sister will just want to hear it!
Elma with a bright red face and her mother and daughter across the holo display begin to interact with the gangster. That lasted until Eldomua, who went down in a simultaneous attack from left to right, was resurrected.
Specifically, about five minutes.
