I made a slight correction to the last part of the last time.

Yurshtene! _(:3」∠)_

Departing from the Imperial City without any particular hindrance or accident, the Black Lotus flew out into space, docked with Antlion, and headed straight for the Gracius Secandus Colony.

This is to resupply supplies before leaving the Glacius system, which is the capital star system.

What? Didn't you supply supplies in the Imperial City? Prices and distribution in the Imperial City are a bit special.

The prices of some goods produced in the Imperial Capital, such as some food and crops, are Thailand low, but other goods imported from outside the star system are much higher than the market price. Also, we don't handle supplies that we Thailand sailors use in the first place. This is because the Imperial City is severely restricted from entering and exiting spacecraft. There is no handling because there is little demand.

So, if you want to leave the Imperial City, you need to prepare for the journey at the Gracius Secandus Colony. Of course, there is no problem if they leave as they are, because there is plenty of room for supplies on the Black Lotus, but either way, we will have to retrieve Chris's ship and store it in the Black Lotus. It seems that there is an answering machine on the ship, and I can't leave him behind.

So, he joined the Black Lotus that called at the Gracius Secandus Colony.

 

"You...... I see. My name is Merrion. Thank you, Captain Hiro."

 

Saying this, she bowed reverently to me. He's probably about the same age as me, or a little older. She is a very tall, skinny woman. He might be taller than me. It's a little different in texture from Serena's sparkling blonde hair, but she's a blonde maid outfit woman. I mean, it looks unhealthy, it looks bad, it's suspicious, and the circles under the eyes are amazing...... Are you okay, this guy.

 

"Regards, Mr./Ms. Merlion, you can call me more comfortable. I don't think it's too presumptuous to call him Captain Hiro-sama yes."

"No, I will not do that to the future spouse of Miss Christina, but I would rather you call me Merrion. You are the one who stands above us as the companion of Miss Christina."

"Perhaps, but at the moment Count Dallinewald has not even approved of us as an official betrothed, and until that time comes, I hope you will accept my proposal."

「…… I get it."

 

Reluctantly, Mr./Ms. seemed to accept my proposal.

I decided to unload her luggage from their ship and let the crew guide me—and at the same time, I contacted Dr. Shoko. Right now, he's doing a medical check on Chris and Edeltrud.

 

yes What's the matter?"

"Mr./Ms. Marlion, who is another Squire of Chris, can you carry out a medical check as soon as possible?"

"That's fine, of course, but did something happen?"

"It's one thing to tell a professional what you see from an amateur's point of view, but it just looks unhealthy no matter how you look at it...... I'm letting Mimi and the others escort me to my room, so please contact Mimi and get it done as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll get back to you soon."

 

Shoko-sensei is very quick to talk and is really helpful. It's really just an amateur's judgment, and if you don't have any health problems, that's the best.

 

"I'll have to leave that to you."

 

Either way, all I can do is give instructions...... If there's none, that's fine.

"I'm extremely sleep-deprived."

"Lack of sleep"

"It seems that you were worried about Chris and hardly slept...... For the time being, I'm going to have you sleep.'

"That's it...... I get it."

 

While inspecting Chris's boat with the mechanic sisters in the hangar, the results of Mr./Ms.'s medical check were returned by Dr. Shoko. Even though it's only been a few days, I'm too worried to sleep and I'm not feeling well, so I think it's better to take proper mental care.

 

"What's going on?

"Don't worry about it, it's really trivial."

 

I sighed involuntarily and Tina called out to me, but I replied with a light wave of my hand. It's not an issue I'm actively involved in. Once he understands the current situation, Chris will manage it himself. I'll tell Chris as much as I'll tell him later.

 

"So, uh...... It's Chris's ship."

"It's a high-speed small ship made by Ideal two generations ago, and from the outside, there is nothing particularly strange or special about it."

"I can't even look at the contents, it's probably a paid item from the Imperial Air Force Force, so I think it's a decent performance."

"I don't mean to use it as a force to be reckoned with, but is the ship that Chris uses for business trips at this level...... I've seen Count Dlainewald's fleet before, but the equipment looks old overall."

"I don't know about that, but I don't think I had any outstanding abilities when I was working in the Cormut system."

 

If Chris and I get married in the future, and I get involved in maintaining security in the Countess of Daleinwald's territory in the future, I think that will be a bottleneck. Well, this ship is also equipped with decent equipment, so it is more capable of fighting than a typical pirate ship.

Well, with my help, the battle ship of the Count of Dlainewald has been revamped with the latest one! I don't think it's that easy. You might want to think about something.

 

"Okay, you can scan it, but please get Chris's permission to do maintenance and mess with it."

"Ryokai"

"Yes, I understand."

"Please, I'm going to check on Chris."

 

I told the mechanic sister, who replied cheerfully, and left the hanger.

Anyway, I have to talk to Count Darleinwald first. I'll have my grandson Mr./Ms.—no. Will I be taken? I honestly don't know what he thinks about that. In fact, I haven't had many conversations with Count Darleinwald.

However, considering the history so far, I don't think he hates me, and I don't think he thinks that his relationship with Chris is outrageous.

If he had thought so, he wouldn't have approached me with a request in the Cormat system, and he would have interfered in some way with his subsequent contact with Chris and this time in the Imperial City.

 

"Well, I've been thinking about it a lot...... I mean, I can't solve everything in a snap like this, like cutting off a sword, a sword."

"I think it's a good matter to talk to Mei about it, Captain, or Sister Mr./Ms. Erma."

"That's right, but you both seem to be busy, and Neve was just right."

"Doesn't the captain think of me as a pet or something Thailand?"

「？？？」

"What is that 'yes?" look on Thailand's face. If it's something that bites, I'll bite you and make you understand.'

 

While saying that, please don't bump into my lap with your pod. It hurts soberly.

 

"Well, it's a joke about pets, and it can't be helped, because Neve is the only one who actually has free time."

 

Mimi, Erma, and Kugi are busy setting up a room for Chris and his two servants, helping them unpack, and arranging supplies. The mechanic sisters are also busy doing various checks and securing materials for the departure of the port, and Shoko-sensei is taking care of Marrion. Mei would be able to multitask with me no matter what work she was doing, but I know she's busy and don't get in the way.

 

"I want a job soon, don't I?"

"At least tell me when I'm able to walk around freely in the flesh, that kind of thing."

 

It was only the other day that I was able to move to some extent in a floating wheelchair, or rather a free-standing simple medical pod. Even now, her body is being treated by Dr. Shoko, and it would be impossible for her to take charge of her work in such a state. However, her strength is in electronic warfare such as hacking and cracking, so it is a delicate point to say whether there is anything to do in peacetime.

 

「…… Well, Barack is a lively role or a consultant."

"It's okay, even if you say it's a pet role? From now on, I'm the captain's pet pet, shall I call myself Nyan?"

"Please stop, it's too bad."

 

Neve, who was soothed by Shoko-sensei and polished by our female team, looks like a really pretty girl, so the day she introduced herself like that, I was going to be fatally damaged in a social sense.

 

"Well, I suppose it will only be as it is, and if you don't mind, I will do as much research as I can about the Countess of Dallinewald."

"Please, but don't cross the dangerous bridge."

"It's okay, Mei is watching you."

 

That's a relief. Well, Mae should be in control of Neve's network access. However, no matter how much Mei does, wouldn't she be overworked? I'll consult with you next time if you need to upgrade the specs.

 

"I hope we can get through the meeting or discussion with Count Dellainwald peacefully, and then head straight to the Holy Empire of Verzarus......."

"Isn't it impossible as far as I can tell?"

"Why do you say that?"

 

I'm horrified that even the newcomer, Neve, has given up on my peaceful journey. Who did you hear from, Neve? No, all of our crew would say the same thing. That's right. And I guess it will.

 

"It's daunting......

"I'm a little excited, Captain."

 

Neve said this with a grin, but I looked up at the ceiling, thinking to myself that I could afford it now.
