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

"I don't suppose it's money that comes out of Commander Serena's pocket in the first place."

Does it make sense to expose yourself to such a charming face?I will swallow the word.There is a sword within her reach, so to be blunt, my neck may fly.

"Hiro, the budget of our fleet is not unlimited."

"I see, but selling my arms cheaply can be a nuisance to other platinum runners."

I will return it to Lieutenant-Colonel Serena with a serious face.If I get a cheap job from Lieutenant-Colonel Serena and offer less rewards to the other platinum runners, I might be surprised.The army is an office somehow.There will be a lot of precedentialism, so I can't be a bad precedent.

If you came here on instructions from your superiors in the first place, why don't you take the makeup?

At the time of the first raid, there was a distress request from a system army organized around the Rose clan, which led to the dispatch of Lieutenant-Colonel Serena's Starfleet Independence Fleet.The Rifil system is not unlike being under the protection of the Empire, although it is an elf autonomous region.It is the Empire's tickets that people under the protection of the Great Empire are harmed by the Space Bandits.That's why Lieutenant-Colonel Serena was dispatched, so he should have been given considerable authority.

"... when we first met, it was so innocent, but someday it rubbed off"

"Hey, did you just say cholo?"

"Didn't I tell you?"

You look so gloomy, but I'm pretty sure you said that.You're not mistaken.

Indeed, in the Tarmaine system, Colonel and Lieutenant-Colonel Serena have taken part in the battle against the Federation of Belém.Well, just like the beautiful Lieutenant-Colonel can incite me, I can't finally roll it on my palm!I was allowed to declare my participation.I won't eat that hand anymore.

"I'm not going to participate.Just give me a reasonable amount. "

"Really? That's it."

And the amount presented was not 300,000 energies a day like Count Darrenwald's, but it was usually 200,000 energies, the daily price of platinum runners.Plus regular prizes and destruction rewards.Not bad as a condition.

"I'm not asking for an increase even if I say it again."

"Let's hear it."

That's what Lieutenant-Colonel Serena wants us to do first.

"I'd like to renew my Black Lotus gear.I want you to spin a military-grade weapon. Naturally, I'll pay for it. "

"Oh, I see. Surely that gunboat - was it the mother ship?It would be helpful if the firepower of this thing were to rise. "

It's the mother ship. It's a little high on fire, but it's definitely the mother ship.

"I've told you this before, but it happened while I was busy.And I want a lightweight power armor. "

"Okay, let's do it this time, including that.If the gold star winner offers, they won't refuse. "

"Nice to meet you. Should I be notified of the schedule as soon as I can?"

"Yes, I will contact you as soon as I have a course of action, so please be ready to leave at any time.I don't think it will take much time. "

Copy that.

However, the opponent is the Red Flag Space Bandits, who have been pursuing the Imperial Space Force for many years.I don't think it's that easy to clean, but is there a secret?

"So I decided to join the Red Flag sweep."

Returning to Black Lotus and telling him to join the sweep operation, everyone looked the same.

I'd be willing to participate if I didn't want to.

"Pinch is a chance.Procurement of military equipment through Lieutenant-Colonel Serena is likely to go smoothly, and if we make money from a sweep operation, it looks like it's actually free.You can get not only the prize money, but also the destruction reward and the daily allowance, so there's no way you won't participate. "

"But you didn't like it, did you?"

"... when Lieutenant-Colonel Serena got involved, it got bigger and bigger."

At first, it was a space bandit's base offensive, but that's why I got caught up in a border conflict with a neighboring country. Because of that, I was promoted Lieutenant-Colonel Serena to serve as a leader of the Starfleet Independent Fleet. If I didn't see him face to face for a while, I would be involved in a duel with crystal life. Because of that, I would get a large medal, and when I went to the Imperial Capital, I would have a lot of trouble related to the Imperial Palace... I still feel like Lieutenant-Colonel Serena would be the key and get into trouble.

"Was it a failure after all...? No, but if I run away, I'll be in trouble for running away."

"Yes, it was too late when they caught you."

"Should we have predicted this and fled first?"

"It's impossible to read and act like that...."

In other words, this is a kind of destiny, or is it like planned harmony?Nothing, I'm not a fatalist, but there are a lot of occasions when I feel that way since I came to this world.What kind of paranoia?

"Anyway, that's what this is all about. Let's get ready to launch."

"Copy that."

I also gave instructions to May as I watched everyone move out.

"Develop specifications for strengthening Black Lotus.I just want to say that I can't put a thread on the money... but the budget will be about 20 million. "

Yes, I thought that would be enough.

With 20 million Enel, you'll be able to change it into military-grade armor and laser cannons.

"Ah, Hiro-sama, what about the military transport this time?"

"Pass, because if you're dealing with a Space Bandit, you can expect a catch."

Got it!

Mimi, who was staying in the dining room and operating the tablet terminal, replied energetically and resumed work.

Now, what am I going to do... oh, I can't take the seed of the god tree with me, let's just fill in the story.Well, we should just give it to the rightful person on the Reef Prime Colony.

That's what I thought.

"I want you to keep it with you until it sprouts...."

"Then you'll have it outside the system."

"Please don't do that...."

"No, I'm telling you, it's a maneuver to crush the red flag that attacked the Rifil system?Theta, as an autonomous government, you can't say no to that, can you? "

"That's right...."

Theta, a local government official stationed on the Reefil Prime Colony, sweats and murmurs his words.Even though it is an autonomous government, it is a council system of three major clans.Besides, they don't want to leave Theta, the home planet, much other than the Rose clan, so basically most of the people living in the Reefil Prime colony are innovators, or the Rose clan of the technology receiving faction.

"For the drawers, the divine tree is the base of their hearts...."

Rose's clan staff moaned with a bitter smear.In his reaction, he himself would consider this situation a nonsense.

"I told you, I'm always gonna leave this to Elves."

Down there, that is, on Theta's planet, on Refill IV.It seems that people who live on the planet's habitat don't look funny, but they don't have to worry about that right now.

"I understand that.Well, it's just selfishness. I was wondering if it would be okay if you didn't mind too much. It's just.... "

"Just?"

"Please leave us the seed now.Tensions between the three clans have increased due to the various rattles that have occurred recently.In this situation, if we keep the seed of the sacred tree, it could be a new spark. "

"What do you mean?"

"Please keep it as it is, if possible.And when it sprouts, you can return it at the right time. "

"Er... are you angry with the Grad clan and the Minfa clan?"

Honestly, I don't want to buy much disgust.

"Don't worry, we'll cover the mud."

That explains the clerk's dry laughter.Well, in the worst case scenario, can I leave it on the Reef Prime colony?It's troublesome to come back to the Rifil system again, but I'm sure we'll be fine with that.

"Okay, well, I've had a lot of entertainment from the elves, and I'll take care of that."

"I'm sorry."

The clerk lowers his head deeply.For him, or for the Rose family, this is probably a poor decision.As I told you, there are parts of Elves that have been taken care of with delicious food and good accommodation, so let's make some compromises.
