I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary
# 198 Request from Count Daleinwald
I was shown some models after that, but eventually decided to buy the first recommended Alkeny-type military combat bot. The decision-maker is highly versatile and in that it folds the body when not in operation and is smaller than I thought. Some models were a little more powerful when viewed solely by their simple combat abilities, but that one missed the purchase because they were too specialized in combat and lacked versatility.
Thanks to the letter of reference effect from Lieutenant Colonel Serena and the purchase of ten + systems as a whole, the price of the main unit around the whole fell to just under 60,000 Enel, and the conversion system and options could also be purchased together for about 600,000 Enel. Together, 1.2 million Enel or something?
"... cheaper than I thought, huh?
"Akan, even Mimi gets hit by the mercenary's sense of money"
"Mr. Mimi, 1.2 million Enel is a lot of money. The average person's monthly income is about 1500 Enel, right? That's roughly the equivalent of sixty-six years a year, right?
"Oh, right?
Mimi is haunted by Teena and Whisker. That's good, that's good, Mimi. You're coming to this side too... this side is out of the picture. Fun, huh?
"Now, Mr. May performs better than a combat bot, doesn't he?
"That's for sure."
"Right."
"I'm afraid."
Me and Elma snort at Chris' words and May bows her head.
"Then wouldn't it have been nice to have the same high performance maidloids as Mr. May's?
"Um, it's not like I don't even have those hands... May"
"Yes. Sure, as Master Chris said, it's one hand to have more than one high-performance maidroid in my class, but my main price is 480,000 Enel. Including various options, maintenance devices, etc. will slightly exceed 550,000 Enel. So you're going to be over 1.1 million Enel in two. Then it would be more cost-effective to buy a dozen military combat bots per maintenance system for 1.2 million Enel."
May lightly begins a comparative explanation of the cost, performance aspects of high-performance maidloids and military combat bots.
"There is also a problem with uptime. Maidroids like mine are all recommended to be maintained for about two hours per forty-eight hours. This is a task that can be said to be mandatory in order to maintain appearance and airframe performance. They should also be repaired by the manufacturer's company if damaged. On the other hand, military combat bots can continue to move without maintenance for about two weeks unless they are clearly damaged, and even if they are damaged, they can be repaired with the proper materials and the maintenance and conversion system purchased this time. Given these kinds of maintenance, battle continuity capabilities, military combat bots are still better in terms of pure combat."
"I see. May is much better at performance, but in other respects, military combat bots are more robust, less expensive, and easier to operate."
"Mae is overwhelmingly more appropriate for escorting Chris, Mae, Teena and Whisker, though. You can't walk a colony or an empire with a battle bot, can you?
"That's right. It's too intimidating."
"Or am I?
"You don't need an escort for me and Elma."
Elma asked me straight in the face, so I'll give it back to you right in the face. Me and Elma need an escort or something. Because that's not normal anymore. Because it's like a battlefield where lasers and bullets fly. It has a look that kind of makes Elma unconvinced, but keeps it gorgeous through.
"Well, I just bought it for caution, and I don't think I'll get a chance to use it that way."
"Right. It's not like he's going to be attacked by a space thief or anything like that."
"Right. I'm not going to allow your husband's black lotus to work such a wretch."
Chris said, "Well, then why the battle bot? He had the expression," but there it is. It's safer to be the owners of bad luck (hard racks) like us and be as prepared as you can be when you can.
"We've successfully completed our business negotiations, shall we go back to the mansion? It'll be just the right time."
"Right, I think it's time for your grandfather to come back to the mansion"
"I have a request"
"My grandfather!
Chris speaks out angrily to Count Daleinwald, who got to the point without saying hello.
Returning to the mansion of Count Daleinwald's house, he was suddenly asked to work without a greeting when he faced Count Daleinwald. I don't think I know what you're talking about, but I don't know what that means either. It's not a level of direct access.
"No, you don't have to be angry about anything...... and that's abrupt"
"Uhm."
That's what I said and nodded, and when Count Daleinwald waved lightly, the holo display stood up, displaying what looked like a system map. The displayed system name is the Cormat system.
"The Cormat system was definitely next to the Dexer system."
"That's right. Terraforming of the cormat iii of the habitable planet, which was more terraforming than before, was so complete. The Count Daleinwald family will begin colonization. I'd like to ask you to escort the colonization ship and the post-colonization. Trouble solving when something goes wrong with Cormat III."
"A colonization escort... I don't mind just the basic salary of the escort to deal with the alien thief, but I get a separate fee for troubleshooting problems that have arisen on the planet of Cormat III. Also, it's nearly impossible to deal with all the alien thieves that make a raid and descent on Cormat III."
It is known what extent Krishna and Black Lotus could be in charge. It's impossible to prevent all the alien thieves attempting to descend on the planet by themselves.
"I know that, either way. The Count Daleinwald family will certainly have the strength to fight. I want you to join me there as a mercenary."
"That depends on the reward. How much was the hiring price for a platinum ranker?
"200,000 Enel a day."
"Then there's going to be 300,000 a day. Guarantees a minimum of one million in respect of other separate charges, increased by the content"
"The reward is OK on that condition. How long have you been in custody?
"A minimum of one month, a maximum of three months. What about the fact that we need to reschedule?
"Three months tops, OK. What about Mimi and Elma?
"I'm OK too!
"Me too."
"Then that's what I'm talking about. Please go through the mercenary guild."
"Um, let's get this over with right away"
Shake hands with Count Daleinwald in the sense that the contract is concluded.
"Chris, you're in charge of the colonization fleet. Let's finish the colonization."
"Yes, Grandfather"
Chris nodded quietly as he watched the story flow. I see this is also a place for Chris to train as a future lord. There are few words around putting our presence in there, but you care about Count Daleinwald.
"We have to work hard to get Chris to do his job safely."
"Yes!"
"Right."
Mimi smiles at her full face and Elma smiles gently at Chris. But here's what happens...... this is going to help with the battle bots I bought quickly.
Incidentally, the mechanic sisters had figurines in front of Count Daleinwald, whose noble aura was bursting.
He seems to be somewhat used to Chris, but he still hardens when he comes forward with a raw nobleman like the Count. I guess Mimi has also been stained with mercenaries a lot in that sense, who are able to behave as usual even before Count Daleinwald.
"It's a relaxing vacation to watch the colonization work."
"Right. What does it feel like to do colonization work?
"I've never seen it before, but they're going to drop a colonial ship on a good land and use it as a base for development around here."
The three of us were probably united as we spoke. Words that never have a sense of danger can be spoken. But hope crumbles away.
"In the early days of colonization, there will appear alien bandits targeting colonists and resources, so we have to be careful."
That's what Chris says and he's in the mood. Seeing how it went, I - or we moaned a lot when the three of us looked up to heaven or covered our eyes with one hand.
If we didn't tell you, Chris would tell you.
