Mob №128 “I shouldn’t have bought that sterilization washing capsule…”

After escaping from Grandma’s clutches(?), when I returned from the care facility, the two neighborhood hags that mother had silenced when my parents came to Planet Ytts for mother’s niece’s wedding were at the house.
 
Previously, they’d spewed insults about me being a mercenary, saying I was barbaric, practically a criminal, a loser in life, and so on.
 
Naturally, they couldn’t possibly be mother’s friends, and apparently they barely have any neighborhood relations either.
 
When I wondered what those people wanted, they were saying things like [Lately … Read the rest

Mob №127 “As you can see, it’s mahjong. It’s good for preventing senility since you use your hands and head”

 
After finishing mother’s meal for the first time in seven years, I was looking outside for a digestive rest when—
 
“Want to go see the grape vineyard to walk off that meal?”
 
father called out to me.
 
The grape vineyard I’d seen before only had a few thin trees standing, and the grape trellis was small in scale.
 
I’d heard they’d expanded it several times since then, so I was a bit looking forward to seeing it.
 
We got in … Read the rest

Mob №126 “You guys are… scary…”

 
The training exercise with the 1st Fleet of the Imperial Army Central Fleet Subjugation Force in the Halitok star sector had ended, and I returned to Planet Ytts aboard the prepared aircraft carrier.
 
After docking my own ship, the Patchwork, at the parking bay, I went to Old man Roans’s place and received my payment.
 
“Looks like it was rough.”
 
“Well, I was basically used as bait to flush out problematic recruits. Still, the military sure has it tough. They have to make even people like that usable.”
 
As I received my payment in … Read the rest

Mob №125: “Excuse me, but this is my first time meeting you. Well, I suppose I was given your face and name the other day? In any case, I have no reason to be called Grandfather-sama by you.”

【Side: Third-Person Perspective】


In front of the office building of [Labem Corporation], one black bus and one limousine stopped.
 
From inside the black bus, a group of men in black suits who appeared to be bodyguards emerged and created a perfect wall from the limousine to the building entrance.
 
And from that limousine, one old man appeared.
 
Wearing … Read the rest

Mob №124: [Hey you! The exercise is over! What are you doing acting on your own!]
 

 
[With this, the exercise is concluded. Everyone please return to your respective units. Mercenaries, please return to the aircraft carrier.]
 
With Lieutenant Colonel Floss’s communication, the troublesome exercise finally ended, but it probably won’t just be dismissed like this.
 
The pretext will be either a consolation party or a review meeting. At the very least, there will be a drinking session, and I’ll definitely be detained until tomorrow morning.
 
If that happens, I’ll just show my face at the beginning and immediately return … Read the rest

Mob №123 [Why can’t we take down someone who looks like such small fry!?]

 
The second battle ended, and after finishing the two-hour break and movement period, the battlefield for the third battle we arrived at was empty space, and it seems it will be a head-on combat between combat vessels.
 
And as expected, or should I say naturally,
 
[Alright! All of you follow my orders!]
 
That idiot Dashid Denogar starts shouting convenient things again.
 
Honestly, except for a few of his entourage, absolutely no one is taking him seriously.
 
Everyone’s tense, but only those guys are carefree—truly enviable.
 
It … Read the rest
