Ship Operation Log Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 4

 
*** Marieda Westlock ***
 
Thanks to the freight transporter Shaun san, we were able to regain control of the ship.
 
After restraining the two ringleaders, leaving the chief engineer Soka and helmsman Munan behind, we head out to rescue everyone being held captive.
 
Still, I never expected Shaun san to be a Sumerian.
 
And wow, he looked incredibly beautiful when transformed into a woman!
 
Her figure was enviably perfect too.
 
I wonder if that’s a characteristic of the Sumerian race, or is it their diet or lifestyle rhythm…?
 
In any case, I’m so envious…
 
I couldn’t help but stare, but what if Shaun san noticed and got upset!?
 

*** Shaun Lyatt ***
 
Not even five minutes after Marieda and the others left, I received a communication from the GCPO.
 
[This is the GCPO to the training ship Star Mace. Stop your vessel immediately. I repeat, stop your vessel immediately.]
 
“This is the training ship Star Mace. We will stop immediately.”
 
I signaled the helmsman Munan to halt the ship.
 
[Is there an informant on board?]
 
The face on the monitor was of an unshaven middle-aged man.
 
“Long time no see, Inspector.”
 
[You’re…Shaun Lyatt!]
 
It was Inspector Lestrade Ryu, an acquaintance of mine.
 
By the way, he pulls a sullen face when called Lestrade,
 
as it’s apparently the name of a famous inspector from classical literature that he finds embarrassing.
 
“I’m the informant. Well, I’ve pretty much secured control of the ship.”
 
[As expected of you. By the way, what did you do with the crew?]
 
“The mutineers are mostly restrained. The legitimate captain and three others went to rescue the crew being held captive.”
 
[I see. But what do you mean by ‘mostly’?]
 
“Some mutiny members are still unaccounted for. Maybe they’re assaulting that female teacher who was being held hostage…”
 
[Then you’d better hurry!]
 
“But…who’s that?”
 
During my conversation with the Inspector, a handsome man in a military uniform cut in.
 
[Pardon me. I am Rear Admiral Reinhard Steinberger, Commander of the Galactic Republic’s Main Fleet and captain of the flagship Cashinaut.]
 
From his appearance, he looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s.
 
And already a rear admiral – he must be an elite among elites with that “ultra” rank.
 
“Why is the military involved?”
 
But he was a mystery, showing up tagging along with the GCPO like this. And an elite rear admiral at that.
 
Seeming to sense my puzzlement, the rear admiral said.
 
[I happened to be present when the GCPO was deployed, and there were certain matters surrounding that ship.]
 
He explained briefly.
 
“I see. Certain matters, huh?”
 
He probably meant the military found the ship suspicious and was investigating,
 
but could not take action due to pressure from Delnov’s father.
 
Though the reverse could also be true – the GCPO was just riding along. With them involved it should be fine either way.
 
“V-Vessel…stopped…docking possible…”
 
Eventually Munan reported the ship had come to a halt.
 
“Understood. As you heard, we’ll need two docking tubes.”
 
“R-Roger. Deploying…two…docking tubes.”
 
“Well, let’s bring these guys to the airlock.”
 
Once the docking tubes were deployed, I dragged the two prisoners toward the airlock.

As the docking tubes connected, GCPO officers and a military boarding party came aboard.
 
The Inspector and Rear Admiral were among them.
 
“It must have been tough.”
 
“The tough part is the people being held captive, and that female teacher who’s still unaccounted for.”
 
“You were nearly in serious danger yourself, young lady.”
 
“She’s not so easily done in.”
 
The Inspector is an acquaintance from when my grandfather was still alive, and knows that I received training from my sister Tina.
 
The reason I call him “Inspector” is because my grandfather used to tease him about still being just a patrol officer back then,
 
and it stuck even after his actual promotion.
 
“Still, for a civilian, to subdue someone who’s had military training, even a student,- it’s hard to believe.”
 
“Things tend to get hectic for me.”
 
“Nevertheless…”
 
As I was conversing with the Inspector, the Rear Admiral kept repeatedly interjecting.
 
What’s with this rear admiral, being so insistent on involving himself?
 
Noticing my puzzled look, the Inspector let out a sigh and pointed something out.
 
That’s when I realized.
 
“Shaun, are you on your ‘monthly’ right now?”
 
“Ah.”
 
I had transformed into a woman earlier and remained that way.
 
So that’s why the rear admiral was being so insistent on involving himself.
 
“I’m Sumerian. I was male when doing the subduing.”
 
“I see…”
 
Hearing that, the rear admiral’s energy deflated.
 
If he accepted it and fell silent, fine. But if he’s a Sumerian discriminator, it’s better not to address him further.
 
Just then, the Inspector received a communication.
 
“Excuse me a moment. What is it?…”
 
“In any case, please have a doctor examine you.”
 
The rear admiral seemed to be showing some concern, at least.
 
“Yes, understood.”
 
I tried to respond that I understood, but at that moment,
 
I lost consciousness.
 

*** Lestrade Ryu ***
 
I had just received a report that the students being held captive had been found, when the incident occurred.
 
Shaun Lyatt had been shot.
 
The assailant was a woman in a military uniform.
 
My officers nearby and the soldiers immediately apprehended her.
 
“Get a doctor to the airlock! Hurry!”
 
The rear admiral called for the military medic among the team searching for the captives, while I disarmed the woman of her gun.
 
As my officer restrained the woman with handcuffs, two of the students cried out.
 
“Miss Roa!?”
 
[What!?]
 
Everyone present besides those two students and the woman was stunned.
 

According to the military medic who returned with the rescued students, while the students were shaken mentally, they were physically unharmed.
 
As for Shaun, he had no external injuries but was unconscious.
 
He had likely been shot with a stun weapon,
 
which could potentially be fatal depending on the circumstances, so it was worrying.
 
All the ringleaders were taken into custody and contained aboard our GCPO vessel.
 
The female teacher who shot Shaun also had to be detained, but since the students insisted they had questions for her, I allowed the conversation while she remained restrained.
 
Then, a female student claiming to be the captain began interrogating the female teacher.
 
“Ms. Roa, please explain what happened. Why did you shoot Mr. Shaun?”
 
“That woman set her sights on my beloved Mr. Steinberger!”
 
Beginning with that outburst against the students’ questioning, the female teacher started ranting uncontrollably.
 

“I instigated that little brat and gave all the instructions myself!”
 

“I was destined to change my name from Warisina-Roa to Warisina-Steinberger! There’s no way I’d allow my body to be touched by brats like them!”
 

“I chose the prey myself. It was unfortunate the cash transport ship wasn’t available, but the jewels exhibited at the [Galactic Gem Exhibition] would have been fitting for one betrothed to Mr. Steinberger.”
 

“I had them prepare a room in secret to make it look like I was assaulted, so Mr. Steinberger would come rescue me. But that woman! That woman!”
 

With each outburst from the female teacher, I could see the students’ faces darkening.
 
The female students in particular seemed deeply shocked, having thought the teacher was risking herself to protect them.
 
“Take her away.”
 
I instructed my subordinates to confine the still ranting female teacher on my ship.
 
It would not be good to keep this woman in front of the students any longer.
 

The search for the remaining rebel students is still ongoing.
 
The imprisoned students are fortunate to have no fatalities or serious injuries.
 
As for that Shaun fellow, it would be resolved if he’s unharmed.
