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

"First, let's clarify the purpose of introducing the mother ship" "Yes" "Yes"

Mimi and Elma nodded at my suggestion. May is nodding silently.

"I think that if I pursue my goal, it will ultimately be aggregated into 'I want to make more than it is now.' So, considering what is currently the bottleneck, I think it's a little scalability, including "Krishna is basically a battle-type small ship"

May noddes and agrees. so. Krishna is a small battleship. The ship was designed with a focus on combat, so it has high combat capabilities but low expandability. The cargo capacity is small, and lots of loot cannot be carried. You can't capture too much loot even if you kill the pirates.

"So the purpose of purchasing this mothership is to gain cargo capacity and expandability that Krishna does not have. Skies Brasnil is the best among these three. “Yes,” “Yes,” “Yes,” “Yeah, we ’ve got the consent so far, and it ’s nothing more than that, so if you just value it, it's not decided by Skies Brasnil, but the opposing horse Nighthawk is compared to Skies Brasnil It is inferior in scalability but fast feet.Mobility is an important factor.It is convenient that the legs are fast to escape when attacked. "" Yeah, that's right "" Yes. Do you? "

Here Elma and Mei came together.

"I think that escaping when attacked means escaping the Krishna on board without launching it, but that doesn't take advantage of Krishna's attack power. When fighting, Krishna's weaknesses are the weakness of the Nighthawk's shield capacity and the lack of armor, given that there is some mobility in a ship of the size of the ship's class. I think the only advantage of choosing a nighthawk is that the cruising speed is slightly faster during superluminal navigation. "

It seemed to me that there was no gap in May's theory.

"I guess the point is, I guess the crew's safety perspective is missing. The size and maneuverability of the skies braznil. Not only laser cannons and multi-cannons, but also large caliber solid artillery and anti-ship torpedoes. Even strong shields and armor are good, but they're going to explode as soon as they get the firepower they can't stand. It's impossible to keep sneaking under the enemy's attack, but the quicker you can, the faster you can activate a superluminal drive while Krishna is gaining time. '' I guess it's nonsense to envision large caliber artillery and anti-ship torpedoes, as they aim to capture rather than sink a ship larger than a medium-sized one. Therefore, it is unlikely that such excess firepower will strike the mothership, and the Nighthawk is small and difficult to expand as a mothership. "

Mei shook his head, saying that it didn't seem to meet the demands in terms of the original goal of ensuring scalability.

`` Nighthawk will probably be better if you don't put it on Krishna driven by your husband, but I think skies braznir is more suitable if you are going to work with Krishna "

Saying that, Mei stared at me. With that gaze, I put my hand on my chin and think. Maybe Skies Braznil seems more appropriate because May's presentation is perfect, but is that true? The best thing about Nighthawk is, after all, mobility. High mobility means that there is little stress when maneuvering. Furthermore, it means less time to get away from the danger zone. If you were to operate a mother ship, you would probably leave it to Elma. When Elma takes control, Nighthawk must be more suitable for her.

"Since it's basically Elma to pilot your mothership, isn't that a nighthawk easier to operate for Elma?" "That's right. Of course." think"

Mimi as well as Elma agreed with my opinion. Originally, Elma was boarding a high-speed ship that was difficult to control. There is no doubt that Nighthawk is a better ship to handle than the sluggish Skies Brasnil.

"Is Elma going to be maneuvering? I thought the mother ship was to be operated by me." "Yeah?"

Me and Elma both voiced me at the same time. e? May? I didn't really have that idea.

"Yes. Elma's presence as a sub-pilot of Krishna is indispensable, and Mimi's operating is also the same. In that case, it is best for me to control the mother ship, which is currently in short hand in combat. Fortunately, even if I get stuck in a pirate ship, I can do whatever I can, and in the worst case, open the hatch if you don't have spacesuits, power armor, etc. It can be suppressed by simply depressurizing the ship's interior quickly. "

May is a maid Lloyd. It looks like a cool beauty with long black hair, but it is actually a mechanical life form. So she seems to be able to work in outer space as it is or as it is. It seems to me that a pirates who seemed to plunder and jumped in light clothes squirted various things from the hole called the hole and became desperate. It seems to be very difficult to clean ...

"I don't mean to be crushed with me, but if I were, I would do anything."

She put her hand on her chest and nodded quietly with no expression that made her feel confident. She turns off her face with Elma and Mimi. Apparently our destination was decided.

"That's why we decided to head to the Brad system."

I launched the holographic display in my bedroom and told me across the screen.

"I see ... Is it okay to go a little more slowly? 』

With that said, the person behind the screen lonely lowers the eyebrows.

"No, I can't stay too long. There are few mercenary jobs around the Dexer system."

Chris, the person on the other side of the screen, looks down. I thought about leaving silently, but I decided to contact her because she thought it would be too unreasonable.

"Well, yeah. That's why ..."

When I tried to say good-bye, I was covered. He looked at the screen and Chris smiled. Somehow, I feel that my expression looks a little more mature.

"This time again. Please come to see me again. Please come to see me about once a month if possible. "... It's a bit difficult once a month. Please give me about once every six months." . I'm waiting, my knight. "" No, the request is over and the knight role is over. "" I haven't yet removed Hiro-shiro from the knight role. You are still my knight

Chris smiles with that. It seemed that she was seeing something like unprecedented force.

"... haha. Isn't the push getting stronger?" "Because I'm a daughter of the Earl of Daleinwald. We can't remain a weak princess

Pointing out with a laugh, Chris replied with a thin bow as if to show off her existence. Indeed, can't you stay as a weak princess?

"I'll see you again, Hiro-sama. "I'll be waiting." "I'll do good." "If you don't come to see me, I'll go catch me. Even with the full power of the Count Daleinwald, "I'm scared. I'm going to look for you."

The Sleeping Princess in the Cold Sleep Pod seemed to be a little bit stronger through our journey. Maybe Kaoru is just too effective.

"Okay again" "Yes"

They exchange smiles with each other and end the communication. So there is no rest.

"Okay, let's go. Check the members."

Sit in the cockpit main pilot seat and command the crew.

"System all green, good ammunition, good fuel. You can get out anytime."

Elma controls the console in the next subpilot seat and checks each item. Krishna's automated diagnostics system shows an all-green system, but it may be better to overhaul the aircraft once. The problem is that there is no model of the same type anywhere ... Well, parts may be custom-made, but shipmakers will analyze and duplicate the material.

"Food, water, medicines and other supplies are perfect."

May will recheck the inventory on board and report. The management of supplies on board was left to Mei. Originally, Mimi was left to control, but Mei rarely and strongly insisted that this was a maid job.

"Okay. Mimi, I'm applying for departure."

Mimi operates the console and submits an application for departure to the port management office of Dexer Prime Colony. Shortly after permission was granted, I undocked Krishna and the hanger and proceeded slowly with the ship.

"I can only experience the excitement at the time of departure, no matter how many times I experience." "Yes, I'm always excited!"

After passing through the harbor while talking about such a story, we again jumped into the endless universe.

"Okay. Mimi, set the route." "Yes, set the route."

When Mimi operates the console at the operator's seat, the target star system is locked on the HUD. I turned the bow in that direction and accelerated Krishna.

"Super light speed drive, charge start" "Okay. Super light speed drive, countdown start"

Elma starts charging the superluminal drive according to my instructions.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, ... superlight speed drive start"

There was a sound like a bang and an explosion, and Krishna left behind the light and ran. The light of the stellar visible in the distance draws a tail and becomes a line. It is a strange sight no matter how many times you look at it.

"Connection to Hyper Lane is successful. Hyper Drive starts charging. Countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1-Hyper Drive Startup"

Space is distorted, and light is distorted. The next moment, brilliant light filled the sight and Krishna rushed into hyperspace.

"Now, peacefully next ... I hope it's over ..." "It's good to finish ..." "... isn't it impossible?"

Krishna, who we are riding, rushes through a mysterious space of color while rushing into the mood of Elma completely giving up. The next destination is the Brad system. It is an industrial star system with the factory of the ship maker Space Dwelling.
