I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary
# 179 Situation Listen
The following day, officials from the Internal Affairs Department - Mr. Cornell and his men - came to visit and asked about our situation. Regardless, it is a visit after having contacted and made an appointment in advance. This place isn't like the mass media in boulders.
"First, I thought it was important to know what you wanted to do in the future."
"I see."
Sitting on the couch in the break room, I nodded one.
When I asked about the situation, the contents were not stiff and high-pressure, but a slightly looser expression - it felt like it would be better to say an interview.
Not only Mimi, but Elma and I, and May, are together in the interview. The mechanics and sisters are not very involved in Mimi's case, so they are asking about this one a little further away.
"Most of all, it's Mimi's will to respect you."
"Right."
"Right."
Me and Elma, along with Mr. Cornell and his men, gather their gaze together, and Mimi trembles with a victory.
"Oh, um... all of a sudden, I'm not pinned for being told that I have the same blood veins as the imperial people... and besides, I'm a regular colonist. I'm a crew of Hiro's ship now, and I'm an operator, though. I can't behave like an Imperial."
"Indeed, it would be impossible to suddenly behave as royalty to Master Mimi, who has never been educated as royalty, and to fulfill his duty as royalty. But you just have to learn what you don't know. In this day and age, there are as many ways to learn. If Mimi wants to live as a royal family, we will do everything in our power to help her, and Her Majesty the Emperor will look forward to seeing Mimi."
"Heh, Your Majesty!? Ugh... why"
Mimi is severely upset when she hears that Her Majesty the Emperor wants to meet Mimi. That would upset me. Even I'd freak out if they told me I wanted to meet the top of the country, the top of the feudal system with absolute power, too.
"After analyzing the genetic information obtained from Master Mimi, it turns out that the closest genetic information among those in the imperial chamber who are currently alive is His Majesty the Emperor. Also, compared to the genetic information recorded in the past, there is an unlimited chance that Mimi's … perhaps it would be better to hit her paternal grandmother than her current sister, Celestia."
"Uh... well, as expected. My brother is the one who would like to see me at first sight if I were to forget my sister."
"Exactly."
This is how Celestia proved Mimi's grandmother theory.
"Then Elma hops out of the Empire City in the same way she admires Mimi's grandmother, and at the end of that journey she meets her admired grandson Celestia and is on a boat with her. What have you been so dramatic about since we met?
"You're good about me now, aren't you?"
Elma slapped me in the head with a slight redness in the ear. I can't solve it.
"Eh, it's a great honor for you to say that to His Majesty the Emperor, but don't let civilians like me worship you and have any crude feelings about you... No, well, I'd love to see you at first sight if I could see you."
"I see. So you don't mind meeting privately in an informal setting."
"Uh... well, if you're with Hiro and the others"
"Hey."
That's what Mimi says as she turns her gaze toward Chirali, me and Elma, and Elma panics. I don't mind seeing each other.
"If I were to see you, I'd be careful not to slap you in the mouth as disrespectful as possible, but Elma, anyway, I'm an unbridled mercenary. Tell him I need your forgiveness around here."
"Yeah, I'll be sure to tell you. So is it good that Mimi will choose to live as a mercenary with Hiro as before? If you become a royal family, you can live without danger and without freedom."
"If you mean to live without liberty, I am now living without liberty thanks to Hiro. I can walk across the stars with the Hiros, see different places, meet different people, and sometimes get involved in a case, but I'm so happy with my life right now."
That's what Mimi said, staring straight at Mr. Cornell.
"So I'm not going to leave the ship"
"I see... well, from what I can tell, this ship is the interior of your ship."
Mr. Cornell smiles as he puts his gaze through the break room.
"As a matter of fact, don't worry, the Emperor is not forced to take Mimi in the Imperial Room either. He said," Don't let the horses kick you to death. "
"Something very familiar has sprung up with His Majesty the Emperor in one word."
Isn't he actually a pretty good person to talk to?
"I'll check again one last time, but Master Mimi is not going into the Imperial Room, is that correct?
"Yes."
Mimi nods clearly at Mr Cornell's words. Mr Cornell nodded too when he saw how it was going.
"I understand. Then the Empire will move in the direction that Mimi is just a civilian, having nothing to do with the Imperial Family. Her Royal Highness Princess Luciada's resemblance is only an aerial resemblance of others, and even the results of the examination did not allow direct blood ties to the present imperial officials."
I see you're not lying.
"Yes, Master Celestia is missing, and he's not dead already...... right?
"Uh, maybe...? My dad already told me he's dead, and I've never met him."
"... don't get me kind of nervous"
Given the toughness and power of Master Celestia I tell you, I actually think he's survived and he's still flying around the universe. It's also an anxiety factor that Mimi has never met.
"Dear Celestia, there are places like..."
"In fact, Mimi is here as a descendant without letting the Empire grab any tail... if His Majesty the Emperor survives, it's not at all strange that his sister Celestia was alive"
Since I heard about Master Celestia yesterday, I've also looked at Holo Videos related to Master Celestia and Holo Novels, but she's allergic. Is it the female version of Koola? I was portrayed like I thought. Plus, the majority of them are pretty much non-fiction, so they're flying.
"hahahaha......"
Listen to the conversation between me and Elma. Mr. Cornell grins in a dry voice holding the area around his stomach. I guess he also thinks it's unlikely. In the age of age, he would be an active generation with a head in the uproar caused by Master Celestia.
"Oh, and with regard to Mimi's situation, we're starting an investigation at the Home Office because we saw something slightly unnatural."
"I see? Well, I feel more like it now."
"Right......"
Mimi gives an indescribable look. Perhaps you're moaning around your chest remembering what happened before you met me. I'll wrap my fist flat in my hand, squeezing it in my lap. I can only imagine how anxious and horrible the experience was.
"Hopefully the Mimi thing gets hung up and the Tarmaine Prime Colony gets some better"
"Yes."
I don't know what's going to happen in fact, but if Mimi's parents were killed in an accident because of some sort of rights or plot entanglement, and they even renounced any legal protection against Mimi, a solemn storm might blow over the administration of the Tarmaine Prime Colony. I don't know what route the investigation will take.
"Now, that concludes the situational hearing. We will bring this content back again and reflect it in future responses."
"Thanks for that. I hope it turns out well for both of us."
"Right. However, you will stand out at the ceremony in response. It is harder for the Imperial Room to defend you than for Mimi not to enter the Imperial Room. Be very careful around you."
"Is that advice?
Or a threat? I can put the word out of the question. Mr. Cornell nodded with an extremely serious look at my words like that.
"Yes, kind advice. Especially you are a platinum-ranked mercenary, a hero with a gold star and a silver sword wing assault medal. The Imperial Air Force and the aristocracy near the military, and the mercenary guild, will try to protect you, and it's common sense that if you poorly hand mercenaries like you in the first place, you'll be in pain, so ordinary aristocracy won't touch you. But..."
"There are a certain number of idiots in the world who try to reach out to what they want without thinking about it."
When Elma clapped her shoulders and said so, Mr Cornell nodded in agreement.
"That's the thing. Master Mimi is two melons to Her Royal Highness Princess Luciada, young, poor and beautiful. It's not like anyone wants to make Mimi their own."
"That's a pain in the ass... but not until I bust him. If it doesn't work, I'll take Mimi and run away."
You just hope that's not such a skilled white blade doctrine. Well, in some cases, if you don't want to bring it into a battle on a boat, you should just roll your ass and run. Worst of all, there are ways to rely on Chris, Major Serena, and Elma's home. I don't want to use it if I can because I'm afraid of what kind of wings I'll pay for.
"I've literally thrown up blood reflexes to deal with that, and I've trained my sword, and well, I'll be fine. May's tattooed me too."
"Yes, if you're your current husband, you can cross over more than one another with the White Blade nobility."
That's what Mae said and nodded as she waited on the side. Well, that's what you say. I still can't win completely over May. The power and weights are too different... if the attack is too heavy and it gets decent, it's out of balance, and it's not the kind of attack speed you can avoid.
"Hmm...? Well, I guess that's what mercenaries do."
Mr Cornell looked a little strange, but he convinced me on his own. Normally, it is impossible for biological civilians to fight more than each other in melee against noble white-bladesmen with physical strengthening. Yet I guess I was convinced that Mae, the maid of honor, would affirm that I was also applying some physical enhancement.
In fact, it seems that there are quite a few mercenaries who are strengthening their physical abilities or who are using mechanical techniques to denominate them. You think the sailors are reinforcing their reflex nerves, vision, and the people who dominate the White Soldier battle in the colony, in addition to which they are reinforcing their simple physical abilities? They're pretty expensive, so they can't do that unless they're more than silver-ranked veterans.
"Please pay attention. Then we'll be free. We will follow up with you as soon as we decide to respond."
That said, Mr. Cornell left with his men. This is going to add an extra-large event of seeing the Emperor in an informal setting before and after the ceremony.
