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

If you don't wake up forever and pinch your cheeks, it usually hurts. Acceleration / deceleration G naturally hurt me, and heavy lasers exploded asteroids. And the scattered fragments are prevented by the shield. I have no choice but to admit. Then you will be in trouble. Why am I doing this? I have no idea what it means. I can't imagine any reason for such a strange situation.

"What were you doing yesterday?"

He would go to work as usual, come back from work as usual, eat food as usual, take a shower, play a game, and go to bed. That's why I wasn't run over by classic trucks, nor did mysterious messages appear on the computer playing the game.

"I do not understand what you mean"

However, there is no point in mourning. Think positive. If this were the case, wouldn't I be stuck inside Stella Online? If so, wouldn't he be free to live as a mercenary as he did in the game? Without being bound by anything, it is built up only by one's own power. Yeah, good. It's a hundred times better than the network management business of small businesses that won't rise. I'm going to use my special skills. Alright, my feelings are getting better. I have to enjoy the situation anyway. Yup. Let's do that. I'm a little anxious, but ignore that as much as possible, ignore it. By the way, if you decide so ... where is this place? I try to open the Galaxy Map to check my current location, but what I see is a ruthless string "NO DATA". I don't know where it is. This is a very bad situation. Anyway, the universe is vast. It is not on a scale that can be managed by moving around in a dark cloud without any information. Even four years after the launch of the service, even the game Stella Online, nobody has reached the center of the galaxy. I don't know if this universe is the same, but it would be safer to assume that there is a similar scale. Give up on your location and then check the status of this ship. There was no particular prize. I'm relieved. It seems that they do not have to suddenly be caught by the Star Guard to eat stinky rice. And next, I check the affiliation and the money I own, the owner of the ship. No affiliation was found. A complete civilian who doesn't even belong to the mercenary guild. The captain name seems to be the same as the one used at the time of the game. And the balance of the possession is 0 energy. I can not believe that. I'm penniless. This time, while looking slightly desperate that the money saved is ..., I will examine the cargo of the ship.

"How much food is there ..."

I checked the touch panel display and found that a bit of food and water was in the cargo. To be really custom-made. Where and who prepared it? I don't know this. There are a few shotgun ammunition and two spare energy packs for the ship.

"And it's a rare metal ... it's a pretty good amount.

What's wrong? To explain it, we first need to talk about currencies in Stella Online. In the world of Stella Online, bills and coins are long gone, and an electronic currency called Enel is distributed on a galaxy scale. The exchange of Enel is very easy and convenient, but since it is an electronic currency, the history of all exchanges is naturally kept. Returning here to rare metals, rare metals are a chronically scarce material in any part of the galaxy and can be easily exchanged for energy at any colony or station. In short, it's like gold, silver or jewelry on earth. Rare metal is just a drooling thing for those like pirates who want to avoid getting footed by Enel's exchanges, as the direct exchange of the actual thing is difficult. It is easy to imagine so far, but if you carry a lot of this rare metal, it will be very easy to be targeted by those who have such shin wounds. In game terms, the encounter rate with NPCs, so-called bandits, is significantly increased.

"Warning, scanning from unknown ship"

A warning comes from the support AI mounted on Krishna.

"Immediately ..."

Scanning doesn't mean you're a pirates. Is my aircraft in trouble? There is a good possibility that it is a good faith third party who is scanning for the time being. I'm most likely scanning because it's just suspicious! It is suspicious of a ship stopped in an empty space with a large amount of hard-to-reach hardware. Too suspicious. I suspect I'm going to do illegal trade with pirates using rare metals that are hard to reach.

`` Armouring ships of unknown affiliation, online ''

Ah, heartless. Apparently the lucky goddess did not smile at me. It's probably the Sokutoku, who is likely to aim his weapon at the opponent who is not the bounty.

"Yeah, brother. Do you take a nap in such a place? "I don't mind anything." "Hehe, that's right, my brother. I guess I was lucky to meet in this wide universe. What is it that separates the contents of the cargo a little bit, so I don't have to do anything? "" That's not allowed. Can I sell it at a reasonable price? "

While talking, etc., three unidentified ships that released the superluminal drive with a distinctive sound such as van, van, van appear in the surrounding space. All weapons are already online and ready to fire. As they approach, information on the three ships whose affiliations are unknown is displayed on the display one after another. The three models are very different. All of them have a reasonable cargo capacity, and are well-balanced aircraft that can be equipped with well-armed vehicles. There are many scratches and dents. It's like a typical pirate ship.

"Hmm? I'm not familiar with this ship. Where is that ship? Boss "" No comment "

I will scan the unknown affiliation ship from here as well, thinking that it is probably a ninety nine pirate. As expected, it was black. Every ship has fifty to eighty-energy prize money.

"Hey, did you see it? There is no way to see it. Don't bring your cargo calmly. That's it, I'll help only my life. "

Determine the resolution while gradually increasing the output of the main generator from the normal level to the battle level. What are you prepared for? Well, I'm prepared to kill people. For me this rare metal is a lifeline. People can't survive without money. If I wanted to threaten it with a weapon, I would have to protect myself. That means smashing the pirates.

"That's fine. You don't want to die, right? "That's right."

Needless to say what happens to a human who has lost the cradle of a ship in outer space. In the first place, I'll be caught in a ship explosion and die. There is no wonder and fear of thinking that we are going to start killing each other now. Surely that's because my aircraft is Krishna. The ships on which the pirates are riding are civilian balance planes, a few generations old models. The output of the main generator, the shield output, and the armament were pitifully poor, poorly maintained and armored. On the other hand, Krishna, on which I am riding, is a genuine military aircraft, and it is a special machine that has been modified for me. Both the output of the shield and the output of the armament are different from the performance of the Onboro ship on which they are riding, and the armor is a sturdy military-grade item. Let me say clearly. It is almost impossible to lose. It is not a battle but a one-way hunt. Or it's a breach. The generator output, which was gradually increased, is immediately increased to the battle level.

"I don't want to die, so I'll resist. I guess you'll kill you, but don't be remorseful." Don't regret! 』

The pirate ship around my ship turned her bow at once. At that moment I released Krishna's throttle to maximum.

"Gup !?" ? Speed! ? 』

While touching the sudden G, operate the touch panel to deploy weapons and go online. From the sharp form of Krishna, four armed arms with pulsed laser cannons were extended, the weapon bay beside the cockpit was deployed, and two shotguns extended their barrels forward. He blasted the sub-booster and turned around and turned back, keeping the initial momentum. Point the four-gate pulse lasers immediately into a pirate battle.

"Deformed-tsu! ! 』

Continuously fired military pulsed lasers easily penetrate the shield of a pirate ship, evaporating armor and causing a small explosion. The cockpit seems to have been burnt well.

"It's just one shot! ? 』

Silently re-accelerate and take behind a pirate ship trying to escape. The field of view begins to darken due to the sudden G applied. The pulse laser is fired again while feeling such a feeling halfway.

"I hate it! I want to die! I want to die! ! Died-! ! ! 』

The four pulsed lasers breached the shield mercilessly and pierced the main booster of a pirate ship begging for life. Whether the pulse laser reached the main generator as it is, the second pirate ship explodes and disperses.

"A bastard! I'll kill you! 』

The third aircraft did not escape, but challenged the battle. Did they see their fellows and try to pay off at least? It is virtually impossible to avoid the attack of a laser cannon flying at the speed of light after firing. Then what should we do? It moves so as not to be targeted, that's all.

"Guh !? Uh ...!"

Operate Krishna and take random maneuvers using various sub boosters while repeating rapid acceleration and deceleration. I'm going to vomit.

"Shit, what a movement! 』

The pirates also correct their shooting accuracy and shoot accurately. It was a behavior that was not in the game. After all, this is not a dream, and the pirate ship seems to have the same humans as me. I feel nauseous. Whether the nausea affected Krishna's movement or whether the pirate's fire correction exceeded my evasion, a laser cannon landed on Krishna.

"Ki, do not work! ? 』

The red laser emitted by the pirate ship was completely prevented by Krishna's deployed shield, and could not even leave its armor scorched. Sufficient enough. I start accelerating towards the pirate ship with its bow pointing here. Suddenly, a pirate ship approaches in front of you. It's like a chicken race. A pirate ship fires a laser cannon at the end of a struggle, but either is impatient or has no effective hit. Even if it did, Krishna's shield would not come off with the ship's laser cannon.

"No, no! Or mother ----! 』

Before the crash, I evaded the pirate ship and fired two shotguns at a passing rate. Ultra-high speed bullets saturate and pierce the shield of the pirate ship, piercing the hull and making it full of holes. Swiss cheese is ready.

"Hah! Hah, huh ..."

Swirl the ship, watch the exploding pirate's ship take care of the disturbed breathing, return the generator output to normal mode, and take the armor offline. The nausea was suddenly stopped. Isn't it just psychological, but simply because of the unreasonable maneuver that the internal organs were surprised? My heart was stronger than I thought.

"If you can't wake up to this point, it's really reality ..."

Don't feel dark. Let's go positive, be positive. Otherwise you will die, mentally.
