What Do You Mean I'm The Captain Of A Yandere Mercenary Company?

Chapter 314 Things Are Running Smoothly

I looked out of the bridge as the stars streaked past, taking a moment to enjoy the sight.

While I was lost in my thoughts, I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist to hug me from behind.

"What are you thinking about?" Amber asked, leaning her chin on my shoulder.

"Mmm... Nothing, really."

She pressed herself closer to cuddle against my back, "Well~ Wanna guess what I'm thinking about?"

"Hmm... Probably something like pulling me to the bedroom and then having your way with me?"

"Ehehe~ While that sounds really tempting, I was actually thinking about wanting to kiss you~"

I chuckled and I turned around to face her.

Amber looked up at me and both of us stared into each other's eyes for a moment.

I could see the stars streaking across space behind me reflected in her eyes, which only made her look more ethereal in the light.

Our lips parted before we leaned forward at the same time.

I kissed her deeply, enjoying the taste of her lips thoroughly before we broke the kiss.

"Ahem~"

Both of us jumped at the unexpected sound and turned to see Mara standing there with two cups in her hand.

She cocked an eyebrow, "Is this how you're usually like around her?"

Amber scoffed, "Oh please, why don't you tell us what you have over there?"

Mara shrugged, "It's apparently tea. The organic kind."

I widened my eyes, "Wait... Organic tea? Where did we even get those?"

"Lea apparently got some during her shopping spree I believe. She got some to plant in that garden of hers too and she told me to brew this as a test batch for you, Captain."

I still can't get used to Mara calling me that but she insisted on doing so since she was now part of the crew.

She walked up to me and handed me one of the cups.@@@@

Amber looked at the other cup in Mara's hands and frowned, "What? None for me?"

Mara lifted the cup to her lips to look at her over the top of the cup, "Who are you?"

"Oh, you fucking bitch."

I looked into the cup to realise it was green tea and it smelled... Just like tea.

And right now, there were about ten of these shelves with each one growing a different type of crop.

One I recognised were potatoes since I've planted them myself before.

Lea was currently bent over one of the farms and she seemed to be in the midst of planting a new batch of plants into one of the pipes.

I went over to Lea, "Hey Lea~"

She turned her head and smiled at me before nodding at the cup in my hand, "Mistress. How is the tea?"

"It's nice actually. I'm honestly surprised that I didn't find this before."

She went back to placing what looked like small saplings into the pipes, "It's quite hard to find them in human shops so I was really lucky to find that shop actually had them."

I raised an eyebrow, "Why is that? Do people hate tea now or something?"

"Oh no. Organic tea leaves are still a thing, even though synth tea is more used now. Tea is almost exclusively being grown by Alvs while humans predominantly grow coffee plants actually. So to find a few tea shrubs being sold in that shop... I believe they either bought, stole or received an order from an Alv who never went to get it... Or this is just a plant that looks like a tea shrub."

Huh... Interesting...

"Why don't you grow coffee though?" I asked.

She spun around to look at me with wide eyes, "Oh... Does... Does Mistress like coffee?"

"Oh no, I don't. I actually prefer tea. I'm just wondering why coffee is still predominantly being grown by humans? Do Alvs not like coffee or something?"

She let out a sigh of relief before grimacing, "Actually... I would say that most Alvs do prefer tea over coffee... But I would attribute that to the fact that most never really drank coffee before and mostly drank tea throughout their lives. The reason for that is that it's easier for us to grow tea as compared to coffee on our colony ships."

Ah... I guess this has something to do with the hydroponics thing or something?

I took another sip of the tea, "Mmm... Well I have to say that this is definitely nice. Though I wonder how you managed to get all of this set up so quickly? Seems like you've already got a couple of them growing too."

"I did use my powers a little just to get them going, Mistress. Some of them had been in a seed form and I didn't find any horticubes or anything equivalent on the station so I decided to just make them skip the seedling stage."

I looked around again and I realised that most of them already had bright green leaves growing out of the pipes, almost like they have already been planted and growing for a few weeks.

Well... It certainly is quite a useful power to have.

"Do you have more of this tea though?"

Lea stood up and wiped her hands with a towel, "Does Mistress want more tea? I can go and prepare more for you if you want."

"Oh, I know how to prepare tea so you can just tell me where you kept them."

She paused, "Ah... Right. I forgot you're not from this Universe. In that case, it's in the cabinet above the stove."

"Right, thanks. I'll leave you to your garden, then. Let me know if you need anything."

"Not a problem, Mistress."

Well, that's one new thing I learned about this universe.
