Mob №111 “There’s no way you could get compensation for something like that”

Planet Garostidal is one of the Imperial Demesne territories scattered throughout the Galactic Empire’s domain.

The reason for this is that in the vicinity of this planet, there exist two-way direct gates to Planet Hein, the imperial capital, making it an important location not only for transportation and logistics but also militarily.

In fact, when His Majesty the Emperor from several generations ago launched an invasion war against a former nation that is now one region of the Empire, this gate was used to replenish supplies, ammunition, … Read the rest

Mob #110: “Foolish son…”
 

Whew, that was close.
 
Since he reacted to the decoy missile before, I thought he might react if I made him overthink it, and he fell for it beautifully.
 
I wanted to keep him alive to get information, but I didn’t have that luxury.
 
If I’d tried something like hitting his nozzle to disable him, I would have been shot down instead.
 
Since he came with killing intent, it’s natural for me to resist with killing intent too.
 
That said, there should be enough time for him to escape, and it would be dangerous to … Read the rest

 
Mob #109: “[…I understand… May fortune be with you!]”
 

Blue Hornet is heading straight toward me.
 
Looks like he really holds a grudge.
 
I try firing a beam as a warning shot, but naturally it’s evaded.
 
And after we pass each other, it becomes a genuine tail-chasing dogfight.
 
Using various maneuvers—sharp turns, loops, barrel rolls, vertical movements, speed variations—we both try to get behind each other, but it’s getting us nowhere.
 
On top of that, I’m barely managing to avoid his attacks by the skin of my teeth, while he’s easily dodging mine with room to spare.
 
At … Read the rest

Mob №108 “[Attention all personnel! Enemy reinforcements are all skilled, so please be careful!]”

 
The group that appeared on Rossweisse-san’s radar were indeed pirates, considering they refused ship code confirmation.
 
The scale was medium, with considerably more ships than ours.
 
Moreover, telescopic confirmation showed their ships clearly displayed Jolly Rogers, indicating they were legitimate pirates rather than fallen nobles who turned to piracy.
 
In the case of fallen nobles, they usually don’t display these flags because they claim “this is tribute, not piracy.”
 
Anticipating the entire escort force would arrive, the on-duty members immediately prepared for interception, and the off-duty … Read the rest

Mob №107 “I’ll investigate that information again. This intel is free of charge.”

 
In the shift created by the General, I was assigned to the first shift.
 
The same shift included Lambert-kun and Rossweisse-san’s team, and Dan-san.
 
In terms of Galactic Standard Time, we’d handle the daytime while Arthur-kun and Seira-jou’s team, Morize, and Tiursad-san would handle the nighttime.
 
Arthur-kun’s group is probably lying down right now even if they’re not sleepy.
 
Since we’d just started, the work was extremely peaceful.
 
It was so peaceful that I wanted to contact Gonzales about the earlier … Read the rest

Mob №106 “What kind of utterly unprincipled cargo selection is this……”

 
The security job at the colony dismantling site ended successfully without incident, and I arrived safely on planet Ytts and immediately dove into bed as soon as I reached home.
 
I spent two leisurely days after returning, prepared for departure on the third day, and on the morning of the fourth day, I headed to the mercenary guild to take on a job.
 
Fortunately, I didn’t encounter Miss Dilopaz and managed to reach old man Roans without incident.
 
“Seems like there weren’t any pirate attacks … Read the rest
