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

It will take some time to replenish and maintain, as well as a third-place match, so in the meantime we decided to do some research on our finalists while we grab a snack in Krishna's dining room.

"Platinum rank. I thought you weren't in that wheelchair.

"There are three people working within the Empire - four because of the increase in Hilo. I think one of them happened to be around the capital, or was in a position to use the gateway, or something."

"It's like Hiro around to attract this kind of thing."

"I guess it's not just me, it's the destiny of us all!

I would categorically deny the argument that I am the troublemaker. You two are turning a raw, warm glance at me, but I think the addition and subtraction of the two fates is pretty good, too, huh?

"More than that, look, this is the semifinals."

That's how Elma starts streaming footage from the first semifinals game that was played before our game on the holo display.

"This is quite remodeled... the original aircraft is a Wolf-based aircraft"

"Wolf-based?

"It's a battleship made by Stephenship Industry. That fuselage is probably a modified Betawulf with ommitted command gear. Lightweight and highly athletic for medium-sized ships. Fewer hard points can be equipped with weapons as medium-sized ships, but loads are also quite high, making it easy to load powerful armaments. It's a medium-sized ship, so the generator output and shield capacity are higher than those of a small ship."

"... aren't you strong?

"You're strong. As far as I'm concerned, I don't have enough speed and athleticism, but I can move there, I'm strong and armed. I think it's a plane with a lot of loyal users."

The problem is loaded. I'm armed.

"Roar."

A green light bullet fired from a modified Beta Wolf lands on the opponent and he accidentally speaks out when he sees a destruction decision entered in one blow.

"This is troublesome... if you hit it, we'll talk about it."

"Hey, what's the weapon now?"

"It's a plasma cannon... Wow, here comes the worst type of weapon"

Plasma cannons are a very powerful weapon. The range is long but the bullet speed is slow and the power is very high instead of only being able to shoot directly in front. It is a type of penetrating weapon that penetrates the shield and armor to cause direct damage to the hull.

In other words, it's like a shotgun that has grown more powerful and started flying far away instead of slow bullet speeds. Krishna's defenses rely on shields and armor, so she's vulnerable to the type of penetrating weapons that directly damage the hull. That's why Krishna is a small ship. Incidentally, the so-called penetrating weapons in the same system are only five types: shotguns - shard cannons, rail guns like those mounted on black lotus, plasma cannons equipped by this opponent, and later anti-ship torpedoes and anti-ship missiles that penetrate the shield once, and fighting weapons - that is, impact angles and anti-ship blades that penetrate the opponent with a ship and deal damage.

I explained that to Mimi.

"I see... but wouldn't Master Hiro be able to avoid it?

"I don't think it's a problem for you to shoot me normally. All right? Mimi. Yeah, those guys who use perverted weapons have tactics in place to hit them, and they never miss the right time. There's no way he's going to make it to the platinum ranks on that weapon-equipped ship and win the finals properly for a lucky hit. Please, Buppa."

"Shard cannons are such a colored weapon. It's very convincing what Hiro says."

"Shotguns aren't perverted weapons because if you get close enough to shoot them, they'll hit you."

Oh, my God. What's that face? Aren't you both a little tough on me here?

"That's what I'm gonna do. In the meantime, watch out for plasma cannons."

"It's a catchy way of saying it, but, well, yeah. No chaff, no ECM, no direct fire weapon. I can't stop thinking about it."

The aiming deception device is powerless on a type of weapon that only flies directly in front of it with direct aiming rather than mechanical aiming. Krishna's shotgun or something. Heavy laser cannons are affected, by the way.

"With that said, what kind of guy is he?

"Uh, you look like Captain Banks."

"Silent Banks, huh? Famous mercenaries."

"What's so powerful about it?"

It's a name that seems to be unique when you board a spaceship by yourself. Name me Cock or something.

"Well, none of the platinum-ranked mercenaries and he's unique..."

Chirali and Elma are going to look at me. I don't know about personality... I don't know if it's hard to say! No, I'm giving my personality because it's aggregated in that I'm serving two beautiful women: Mimi and Elma. Because I'm sure it is. Because my personality doesn't. Maybe.

"Silent Banks, or Masked Banks. Anyway, he's a silent person, and he doesn't always take off his mask when he goes with people. Communication also means using a mobile information device. Well, you're like a freak freak."

"He just said he had good arms"

"Yes, it comes with origami. I'm looking at the battle history of Camp Ten Banks, and the total number of battleships shot down is terrific."

"I have a lot of experience. It's troublesome."

This time it's not going to be easy to beat a boulder.

"Come on, this is also the final game in front of you, which was quickly executed! Captain Hiro has shown his strength in all the games before him so far! The last opponent against him is oddly Captain 'Silent' Banks, the same platinum-ranked mercenary as Captain Hiro!

"It's a battle between platinum ranked mercenaries, isn't it? This will be a very valuable experience, not something that can be seen that way. Expectations arise from the battle between the peaks of mercenaries who continue to fight against alien thieves and space monsters every day."

We're already in the starting position, listening to the announcer and the commentary lady soldier, and getting more focused on the battle that's about to begin...

"But whether you win or lose, don't be horrified to think that this will end your insanity"

- I wasn't there.

"Life in Imperial Castle is unsettling...... I'm afraid I won't be able to have a tea party with Her Royal Highness the Empress Luciada"

"Mimi became friends with Her Royal Highness. Too bad Hiro won't be seeing Mr. Isolde, either, huh?

"Because that's not really what Isolde is"

"I know."

Elma laughs couscous. It's good to make fun of you, but if you're making fun of me, I want it to be a little more convenient.

"It looks like everything is ready! So here we go for the final game, the space division of your previous match! Countdown, start!

The final battle countdown begins. This is the last time I cry or laugh. Let's just say I'm going to be in a good mood. Because I want to win it all in a glorious way.

At the same time as the game started, I unleashed Lower Weapon Bay and fired a single anti-ship reaction torpedo. The anti-ship reaction torpedo fired from Weapon Bay stopped perfectly on the spot as set after progressing a little with inertia.

"What?"

"Focus. Mimi, mark the position on the radar of the upcoming anti-ship torpedo, including the current one."

"Ha, ha!

Elma, who was sitting on the sub-pilot seat in my sudden behavior, turns her gaze on me, but I give Mimi instructions to move the ship regardless. Banks' black modified Beta Wolf - Shadow Wolf seems to be spraying his main thruster and starting to pack his mistakes this way. I guess you still want to fight medium to close range to hit the plasma cannon over there.

"I'm not going out with you."

I spray Krishna's retracted thruster and stand around trying not to get Shadowwolf stuffed with a mistake. The enemy is armed with two plasma cannons and two Seeker missile pods, plus three high-output laser cannons. As for medium-sized aircraft, the number of hard points for weapons is small, but they are all fire-powered, unafraid weapons. But the only weapons that can shoot Krishna and me at a distance are the Seeker Missile Pod and the Sanmen high-output laser. The only heavy laser cannon in the four gates that can use this one, too, but if you only deal with the Seeker missile firmly, you can win this one in the damage race. The question is whether endurance can outweigh the other...

"What do you say?

"I think it's subtly zilli poor."

"I see. Well, let's buy some time."

The second anti-ship reaction torpedo is fired while radically changing the direction of the ship and turning to the side of Shadowwolf at full speed. Basically, a spaceship is slower to shake the bow left or right than raising or lowering the bow. If you're swinging left or right, it's faster to roll the ship up and down the bow.

Naturally, Banks' Shadow Wolf will also roll the ship in response to this sudden move, pointing the bow perfectly at us. No, don't point it at me like that.

"I'm coming plasma cannon!

"Oops."

Take evasive action in response to Mimi's warning. Then a green light bullet ripped through space and flew away in an orbit that would hit me directly if I hadn't taken evasive action. It is a brilliant deviation projectile. In the meantime and despite being chaff and deceitful, I'm not alarmed at all because high-output laser shelling is going to plunder Krishna.

"Hey, what are you doing just now?

When I fired the third and fourth anti-ship reaction torpedoes and put them on standby while avoiding the plasma cannons flying with horrible accuracy, Elma asked me like a jerk if I had finally stopped being patient.

"It's a planting, a planting. All you have to do is look at the finish. Come on, let's get you in the mood because we're going in tight combat maneuvers."

Saying so, I cut Krishna's bow back again, and now I'm stuffing up an intermission with Shadowwolf. The closer you get, the fear of a bullet increases, but it also makes it easier to come off the radiation. The point is, if you don't stand in front of your opponent at an inevitable distance. Naturally, there's a lot of pressure there, too, because there are shotguns here and there. If you eat Krishna shotguns at close range, you won't be safe there.

"Whoa! We got a dogfight at super close range. Ah!

I hear the announcer's obnoxious voice in wide area communication. Shadowwolf's combat manoeuvres are truly skillful. It controls the inertia of the ship, uses acceleration and deceleration to accurately remove this ray, and vice versa, it tries to capture this ray. An enemy ship's plasma cannon plunders and flies right over Krishna. Regardless, it's not easy to hit this one either. At this super close range, mobility says things to boulders.

"Seeker!"

"Chip!"

Did you think dogfights at this close range on boulders were bad minutes, and Shadowwolf started spreading massive numbers of seeker missiles at close range ready for suicide bombing? No matter how strong Krishna's shield is, there is not a single pile involved in an explosion caused by a large number of seeker missiles.

I "gladly" escaped the scene. An afterburner is also sprayed, leaving a distance from Shadowwolf at maximum speed without shaking his sides. Shadow Wolf naturally follows behind it. By now Banks will be laughing damned at the defenseless Krishna ass. But that's life.

"Now we're stuffed."

Operate the pilot sheet console. Then, before Shadowwolf fired the plasma cannon, there was a huge explosion at Shadowwolf's close range and three other remote locations. The explosion was a pre-fired anti-ship reaction torpedo. An explosion of reaction warheads at close range makes a shooting down decision on Shadowwolf, and the buzzer at the end of the game rings.

"Whoa!? What happened?

"This... is the anti-ship reaction torpedo Captain Hilo was firing, isn't it? Apparently, the two of them were traveling to the immediate vicinity of the anti-ship reaction torpedo that fired in the third shot while they were dogfighting. It's hard to believe, but apparently Captain Hilo used dogfights to lure Captain Banks right to the side of the anti-ship reaction torpedo to predict the plane and blow himself up... I didn't know this was possible"

The woman in the narrative, the soldier, is at war while explaining. It's the first kill you can only use in one-on-one interpersonal matches, but the torpedo you put away. Besides, once the tang breaks, the second time is hard to get through. They'll smash you with a quick attack.

One message came in to Krishna via short-range communication as the narrative of the female soldier continued.

"They did a great job. Win next '

The message originated from Shadowwolf in Banks.
