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

Chapter 26 Yes, My Ship Has Beds

Amber stepped past the doors and entered my ship.

Right now we had just started up our ships' travel drives and we would be flying in the direction of the asteroid field.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

I also got a good look at her ship while she was trying to dock with mine. It was a B Class Heavy Fighter that specialised in speed.

It seems like she had equipped her ship with two short range ballistic cannons and one medium range laser, which pretty much told me she was a hit and run type of pilot. Not to mention the fact that it was even painted in a strikingly conspicuous red.

In other words, she's the all or nothing kind of person.

The Merc in question looked around my ship's interior with a face of wonder, "Oh wow... How much did you even pay for this ship?"

I shrugged, "Don't remember. Memory's a bit hazy after that anomaly."

"Right... Oh damn, you even have a storage room? I am so jealous right now."

"It's not even that big..."

She gave me a pointed look, "Do I really need to point out how small my ship is compared to yours?"

"But yours is faster and more manoeuvrable."

"Heh heh~ That is true, got me to Gold rank all by herself she did. Named her Lightning Lotus. You got a name for yours?"

I shrugged, "I just call it by the model name, Verlandi."

"Oh, are you one of those people who think that naming their ships is a bad thing?"

"Eh? There's such people?"

"Yeah, there's captains out there who think that naming their ship will make them too attached to it and make the decision to die with the ship instead of running away when they have the option to."

"I don't actually care about naming honestly..."

Truth be told, I do name my ships but that's after I get a ship that I really like or it's some kind of legendary ship. Since trading ships was something that you could do in the game, there's not really a point to name a ship that you'll just trade away anyway.

And since this was a starter ship, I wasn't expecting myself to keep it for long anyway, especially with how much money I might be making in the future.

The average B Class ship should cost around a million Credits so three million should net me a pretty decent upgrade from my current ship.

But then again... I would also need to worry about supplies and stuff so I won't be able to use the full three million anyway so I'll hold off on buying one so soon.

Amber grinned at me, "Well, there's people on both ends of the spectrum anyway. I like my ship, but I like my own life more so yeah~ Anyway! Where's the bedroom? That's what I'm here for!"

I tapped on my Codex to display the time, "But... It's still early? You already want to sleep?"

"No, no, I just want to see the room! Come on! Show me, show me!"

I shrugged, "How should I know? I wasn't the one who built it."

"Ugh, I'm so jealous right now... If this ship had been in the market, I'd buy it immediately without a second thought..."

Now I'm a little concerned that the ships in this universe might suck...

She then continued with a sigh, "I guess you must have gotten your ship from one of the colonies nearer to the centre of colonised space. That's where all the good stuff is."

Ah, I guess maybe that might really be the case.

Perhaps models of my ship are more common there instead of out in the fringes here.

I scratched my head, "Maybe. I don't know for sure though, I don't even remember what those places you mentioned look like."

She gave me a look, "At this point, if you told me you're actually some daughter of a noble family, I'd believe you. Hey, promise me that you'll give me some benefits if you actually turn out to be one?"

"I'll err... Be sure to let you know if I remember that."

She chuckled, "I'm just kidding. So... I don't suppose you have an entertainment room in your ship either?"

I rolled my eyes, "Oh sorry, that room is still under construction, come back next time and maybe it might be completed."

Unexpectedly, Amber stepped close to me and leaned in, "Oh~ Is that an invitation to come on your ship again? Or maybe... That was a proposal for a permanent partnership? Because I'm not going to say no to that~"

I couldn't tell if she meant the Mercenary kind of partnership or the other kind of partnership.

I cleared my throat, "Ahem... Putting that aside, how about I make us some food?"

She seemed quite surprised by my proposal, "You can cook?"

"What? Why is that so surprising? What did you think the kitchenette was for? And didn't I mention that I'll let you eat something after that horrible place?"

I mean... I haven't exactly tried to actually cook something in this universe yet, but I have at least cooked for myself in my original World before.

I live alone after all, so that was unavoidable since eating out can get tiring sometimes.

Besides... I'm pretty sure that cooking should remain the same even in another universe right? Especially when the things here all look pretty much the same.

Look, I see the frying pan, the pot and there's even a wok. I could probably do something with that just by using my old knowledge.

"I mean... I thought you were joking and that stove might just be to heat up the sealed food or something? I dunno? These are like luxury stuff on ships, you know? Most of the time I just eat those packed foods cold while I'm on my ship."

"Well, why don't you go take a seat and I'll see what I can whip up for us to eat?"

She giggled, "Oh wow~ I get to have my date cook me a meal on our first date out~ How romantic."

I know she was just teasing me so I just ignored her and shooed her away, making the blonde Merc giggle as she sauntered into the room to take a seat on the bed.

Now... Let's see what I'm working with here...
