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

Cormatt Prime, a trading colony, was on a boom.

Once Cormatt III's terraforming is complete and a full-fledged colony begins, the Cormat Prime Colony will become a staging ground for supplies and favorites to advance the colony. The transaction volume has increased from a few times to a dozen times compared to when only ore and refined metals were available in the Cormat system, and expansion work on the Cormat Prime Colony itself has begun with a view to completing the terraforming of Cormat IV in the future.

"You're so lively!

"I think you can sell anything if you have it."

Everything was missing in the early colonies. Transport vessels loaded with food, medicine, household goods, building materials, and other merchandise suddenly enter and exit the docking bay. The supplies accumulated here will be loaded onto the immigration vessel and descended to Cormatt III.

"Your first assignment will be to escort an immigration ship descending."

"I don't think there's a fool who's going to target immigrant ships when they land on boulders."

If an immigrant ship fails to enter the atmosphere when it descends, the loaded supplies and colonists will either burn out in the atmosphere or collide with the surface to make everything Buddha. Unless you simply want to interfere with the immigration business of Count Darrenwald's family, it's too tasteless.

Moreover, the Earls of Darainwald will not remain silent about the Empire if they commit such massacres. In some cases, you will be captured alive with the full power of the Empire, and you will suffer immensely.

Now, let's get to Chris's rendezvous.

"Come on. My stomach is pounding."

"Oneechan, you went out of your way to reduce the amount of lunch..."

"It's delicious."

"We're not alone."

That's how Tina looks at Mimi. Yeah, it's pointless to pretend to be blind and unaware. Did Mimi go out of her way to reduce her lunch and make her hungry?

"Come on, let's hurry! I'm sorry to keep my client waiting!

"Yes, yes..."

After Mimi, who started walking early with Tina, we started moving to the hotel, where we met.

Here's to the start of the Cormatt III colony!

Cheers!

At Chris's head, the celebration participants hoisted a glass containing a beverage and filled it.

"Phuhah!

Let's just say we didn't hear two dwarves and one elf shouting like an old man through the glass. By the way, what I have in the glass is 100% fruit juice.

"Hiro-sama, I'm going to get you some food!

"Neither of us!

"Ahhhh. Oneechan, let's behave ourselves a little bit better."

Today's celebration is a stand-up party, where each person eats as much as they like. Mimi and the others quickly stormed the table with a lot of cooking.

I'm not feeling well.

"I'm putting my hands on the second cup right now, and I think you're similar."

Ignoring my words, Elma tilted the second glass. Looks like it was beer at first, but it looks like he's drinking wine or something next.

"Please don't let it get worse."

"I'll save it. It's okay."

If Elma says so, she'll be fine. Well, I usually drink a lot of alcohol, but it almost never gets worse. Sometimes Tina gets mad at Whiska for being soft.

There are a lot of people here.

"That's how many people are involved in this business."

Not every person has a name tag, so I don't know who is involved in this colonial project, but there are a lot of people in the large party venue.

I look like a mercenary today. Mimi, Elma, and Tina are all in their usual clothes, so it's obvious that we're mercenaries. You're feeling violent signs coming from me and Elma, and no one's coming near us.

"You think I'm a mercenary, too?

"I see. Well, many of you have seen Hiro fight in the game before you. It seems to have been distributed throughout the Empire."

"I see. I'm a full waist now."

I brought my laser gun and sword, but I left them both when I entered the hotel. I'm a full waist now. Of course, Mimi and Elma also keep their laser guns at the hotel.

Master

"Nh? Ooh..."

May, who was standing right behind me, told me that there was someone approaching us. I look up at the ceiling unexpectedly.

"If you do that over and over again, I feel bad about the boulder."

"No, I don't think so. I just figured it out."

"Am I using the word 'no objection' in the wrong way?"

Lieutenant-Colonel Serena, the beauty of the uniform who brought his men, turned to Jito. Haha, it's hard to say, Nee.

"So, being here means..."

"As you can imagine. As usual, you're hunting for space bandits, just like you."

Isn't that right?

While we were talking, May brought a drink from somewhere and started distributing it to Lieutenant-Colonel Serena and the others. Looks like I brought you a good non-alcoholic drink.

"Thank you, and I'm here to talk to you."

Yes, Commander.

"How about working with us and you as much as possible? We both know a little bit about each other, so I don't think there's a problem with collaboration."

"I don't think that's a bad idea, but I need your client's permission. I cannot act independently with Lieutenant Colonel's troops in different chains of command. There is also the possibility that the imperial aerospace force and Count Darrenwald's defense objectives may have different priorities."

"That's true. Now, let's talk to Count Darrenwald's family."

"Do it."

I waved my hand to Lieutenant-Colonel Serena as she left.

Actually, I think we should be able to hunt more Space Bandits together with the Lieutenant-Colonel, but we'll lose our lightness. Moreover, the total firepower of the Independent Starfleet, led by Lieutenant-Colonel Serena, does not extend beyond Krishna and Black Lotus. In other words, there is a risk that the prey will be caught by the fire power difference.

Naturally, the bounty we get will be reduced, and we won't be able to catch the ship because we're going to blow up the Space Bandit with heavy firepower. There will be many ships that will fall apart by overkill.

In that sense, acting together with the lieutenant colonels isn't delicious.

"Well, isn't Chris going to say no?

I guess so.

Defeating the Space Bandit with my endless power means that Chris has some kind of martial arts. However, if he leaves our operation with the Imperial Space Force, he will not be able to acquire the martial arts, and I think he will have to refuse Lieutenant-Colonel Serena's offer. Elma seems to have the same idea.

"Being a nobleman is a lot of trouble, really."

"You're going to care about the eyes when you do anything. Well, it's troublesome."

It's persuasive to say that my granddaughter and daughter jumped out of their parents' homes to get out of their noble lives.

"Well, it's time for us to go get some food, too. I miss getting my stomach full with just a drink."

"I see. I want something to snack on."

"Let's get this over with, really... let's go, May."

"Yes, master."

With Elma and May, I set foot deep in the thriving party venue.
