Mob No.46: “How unpleasant…”

It was really lucky that the request to capture the beautiful pirate sisters was nullified by a side stab, and I was able to quickly return to Itz before getting tangled up with the guys who did the side stabbing.

I thought those Bishop-rank guys would be mad at me for not letting them enjoy the beautiful pirate sisters and would ambush me, but that didn’t happen either.

Feeling relieved, I docked my ship at the parking lot and went to the reception.

Still, I was afraid those guys might be lurking around.

“Yo.”

“Hey. Looks … Read the rest

Mob No.45: [Listen up, prey! We are the tearless and merciless – [Now! Fire all at once!]]

After the strategy meeting ended with some lingering suspicions, the pirates finally closed in.

The pirate flags with a mix of large and small marks glared at us as they approached.

[Alright! Everyone stay calm! Lure them in well, then fire on my signal!]

The Bishop class man encouraged the convoy people and issued instructions.

Then there was silence for a few minutes, and a communication came to us from the pirates on an open channel.

[Listen up, prey! We are the tearless … Read the rest

Mob No.44: [First, get into the agreed formation! That way pirates are nothing to fear! This will lure them in, then we fire all at once – we can at least repel the pirates to some degree!]

The next morning.

I was surprised at the gathered convoy.

I don’t know where they gathered from, but around 150 cargo and civilian ships were crammed near the rest area of planet Tassia.

There’s probably a few mercenaries mixed in too.

With this, even amateurs would hesitate to make a move.

But it probably wouldn’t work against a professional, large-scale pirate gang.

They’re … Read the rest

Mob No.43: [This is the 2nd fleet of the Galactic Empire Military. We are currently searching for a large-scale pirate gang. You’re the mercenary chasing them, aren’t you? Withdraw your hands immediately. They are our prey.]

After handing over the robber boy to the police, I decided to spend the night at this rest area and head to the poison salt planet Tassia the next morning.

Since there were no gates nearby, I had to proceed steadily. I left the ship on autopilot and was reading the light novel I brought, when a call tone suddenly rang unexpectedly around noon.… Read the rest

Mob No.42: “Back then it was rampant, so I’m grateful to the previous and current Emperors for sure.”

After running into Ms. Noswile, the police didn’t suddenly come arrest me at my room, so I went to the Merc Guild to look for work the next day.

Surprisingly, there were many pirate suppression requests on the job board.

I thought the military was supposed to be cracking down, but looking at the contents I understood why.

With large pirate groups being taken down one after another, small fry activity was becoming noticeable.

I chose a pirate suppression request with pathetic … Read the rest

Mob No.41: “Mr. Uzoss! What are you doing here?”

Just as the gun overhaul finished, the shop door burst open energetically and a customer who was clearly going to be a headache walked in.

First were several men with petty villain vibes in their appearance and well-groomed hair, but villainous faces.

And following them like a boss was a man with the air of a petty boss.

Probably nobles’ sons.

Those who see their status as equal to their fathers’ status.

They looked around the shop, gazing at the display screens.

“Welcome. Repair or purchase?”

Regardless of appearance, no complaints … Read the rest

Mob No.40: “Usually it’s to meet up with friends you haven’t seen, but we meet often so…”

Hearing that news, Uncle Roans and I froze in shock.

The fruit of so many people’s efforts was so cruelly stolen after all.

“Bold thieves they are.”

“We’re not actually suspects are we…”

“It was a heist planetside. They’re not stupid enough to suspect you guys who were in space the whole time.”

“Hopefully…”

Honestly, quite anxious.

When nobles expecting profit from the rare metals get frustrated, blaming workers on site like mercs and laborers is common.

Might have to find the real … Read the rest

Mob No.39: [Hey! Imperial TV! Noncombat personnel are supposed to evacuate to the colony!]

Starting the 15th day after seeing the noble and [Crimson Goddess], work progressed peacefully with no close encounters with such people.

And on the 19th day morning.

Preparing to depart at the marina with Ossan,

[Good morning everyone.

Thanks to all your hard work, we project the floating asteroids will be fully collected after today’s work.

Therefore, should today’s work conclude without incident, after receiving completion certificates please stay at the colony overnight and depart tomorrow morning.

Payment has already been remitted to each of your … Read the rest

Mob No.38: [He said higher up was too bothersome.]

[Niichan, next is 5 o’clock, ascend 30 degrees, distance 700]

“Roger.”

Like at the gate before, I move following ossan’s instructions at an ultra slow speed nearly stopped.

Polymer coating against debris is perfect.

It’s like an assembly line, smoothly collecting away and the recovery containers fill up fast so I go deposit them on the transport ship.

While occasionally seeing the towing of massive asteroids, as the space empties of rocks, stones, and dust it somehow feels nice to watch.

[Good, next is that one. 10 o’clock, descend 24 degrees, … Read the rest

Mob No.37: “Saw my wife and daughter! My daughter’s so cute! Oh, wanna see pics?”

The day after mooring at the Guild marina, I went to [Animember] and [Seizaban] for manga, light novel, and doujinshi hunting.

Thanks to that, I got:

The light novel [Somewhere a Mystic Summoning Ring]’s new volume.

The manga [My Nemesis is a Hero]’s new volume.

The comic adaptation of the social creature raising sim [SpeedQueen! The Planet Races].

And the doujinshi for the social strategy sim [Maiden Battle History].

And the next day after that fruitful haul.

Uncle Roans finally returned.

Now I could accept … Read the rest
