I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary Chapter 11 – My Destined Person

Translator: SFBaka

*Mimi’s POV

What should I do?

I’ve constantly repeated these sa few words inside my mind for the past six months. They have been echoing inside my head ever since mom and dad got caught up in an accident and died.

There was a large amount of debt that was next to impossible to repay. The savings my parents left were constantly decreasing day by day. The inevitable bankruptcy which couldn’t be avoided even when I dropped out of school and lived extrely frugally. I couldn’t take it anymore.

Just three days ago, I was finally kicked out of my ho along with the revocation of my status as a 2nd Class citizen. I was then forced to live in the 3rd Block instead.

The 3rd Block. It was a place that was synonymous with the term ‘red-light district’ - a place where 3rd Class citizens who couldn’t properly pay taxes were banished to. It was an area of this colony ruled by violence and vice. I was thrown out into such a place.

I’ve long heard of the rumors regarding what happens to won thrown here from the 2nd Block. After being caught by bad n, they are made into prostitutes and forced to sell their bodies to custors until the drugs they are made to take crippled them and made them useless. Once that happens, they are rcilessly thrown back into the dirty alleyways to fend for themselves.

There seem to be so lucky won who end up getting fancied by rcenaries or rchants who visit from outside, but those cases are few and far between. Most are destined to be miserable while suffering from withdrawal symptoms from the drugs, and finally incinerated along with the trash once their lives co to an end. That’s what I heard. I’m so scared. I don’t want that.

So I fled and hid. But I didn’t have any Enel to buy water. Rather, even the terminals necessary for Enel transactions were confiscated by the people from the Colony Governnt Bureau.

“Stay still, you damn bitch!”

“Gehehe… We finally caught ya.”

I eventually exhausted my stamina, beca unable to move and was caught by so n. They looked at with disgusting grins on their faces.

“She ended up getting a bit dirty, but she’ll do just fine.”

“Let’s just get to it, man! I can’t stand it anymore!”

I was forcibly dragged into a dark alley while being unable to mount any sort of resistance. The hands of the n unreservedly groped my body all over and violently ripped my clothes apart.

“Just give up already bitch!”

“Don’t struggle. Won’t ya learn until ya get to feel so pain?”

I finally managed to resist them. I was surprised I still had so strength to do so left in .

“Guess I need to hit you good so you’d stay still—”

The man raised his fist. Once it was swung down, I will surely beco completely helpless before them. It’s all over. The mont I thought that a blinding red light flashed past.

“Giiiih!?”

The n scread whenever a red flash dyed the back alley crimson.

“Get lost punks! You won’t end up with just burns next ti!”

A fierce voice suddenly rang out, and the n who were assaulting miserably fled away. I leaned powerlessly against the wall and moved my gaze towards the source of the voice.

It was a young man. He wore rugged-looking clothes. …Maybe he’s a rcenary?

He had a laser gun and sported a tense expression, but I sohow felt that his eyes looked kind. He had black hair. His age… seed to be similar to mine, or maybe just a bit older.

This ‘big brother’ glanced back at and opened his mouth to speak while pointing the laser gun towards the direction the n from earlier fled to.

“I’m gonna keep watch, so hurry and fix your clothes. We have to get out of here soon.”

He was apparently here to help . I fixed my appearance as much as possible and hurriedly escaped from the alley. I finally managed to reach a well-lit area once more.

“Welco back.”

When I got out of the alley, an elf lady dressed similarly to that big brother called out. She’s probably also a rcenary. I wonder what their relationship is? I couldn’t help thinking about that.

“So what are you gonna do about that girl?”

“What do you an…?”

Big brother looks at with a troubled expression. His eyes really do seem kind. I sohow felt relieved just by gazing back at them. But my heart also pounded furiously.

“Stop staring at her and answer .”

The elf lady started talking freely with the big brother who rescued . I sohow felt pain inside my chest while watching them.

“So what exactly do you have in mind?”

“I was thinking of having her board my ship as a crewmber. Maybe I could entrust her with guard duty or gathering intel?”

An intense shock just ran throughout my entire body. , boarding big brother’s ship? But that ans I’d… My cheeks felt hot. We’ve just t too. But, if it’s with this person—

“Guard duty huh…? Do you like this type of girl, perhaps?”

The elf lady turned her face towards . She was a very beautiful person. Her skin was silky smooth, without any wrinkles or blemishes. Her eyelashes were also elegant and long. Although I was also a girl, I was still chard by her.

“Like…? Well, I do think she’s a cute girl.”

The man who rescued gazed at as well but quickly averted his eyes. I think he just looked at my chest for a few monts. These big breasts always attracted too much attention and made my shoulders stiff, but right now I kind of wanted to praise myself for successfully nurturing such large assets.

“Anyway, let’s get out of this place first. Let’s go sowhere we can rest up and calm down a bit.”

As I thought, this person was kind. But I was worried about the fact that I haven’t managed to take a bath for days. My clothes were also in tatters, so I was embarrassed about being seen by this person in this sorry state.

“…It’ll be your treat.”

“Aye aye, ma’am! Co on then. We won’t do anything bad to you. If you’re having difficulty walking, you can grab onto .”

I obediently nodded to the man and grabbed on to the hem of his clothes. I didn’t want to get too close to him and turn him off with how I currently sll. I’m a girl, so I didn’t want to be thought of as slly.

When the implications of letting a girl aboard a ship were explained to him, big brother’s face turned bright red from embarrassnt. It looks like he really didn’t know what it usually ant for a woman to board a man’s private ship.

That is to say, big brother - Hiro-san didn’t rescue with that sort of purpose in mind right from the start. He helped out of pure kindness. He really was such a nice person. Things developed rapidly after that.

Hiro-san brought to a governnt office, threw a lot of money at a an governnt official and settled my debts in full. When I heard about the amount of debt at first, I was devastated. But Hiro-san… no, Hiro-sama paid for all of it. In order to obtain . I was born for the purpose of fully dedicating myself to Hiro-sama. I strongly felt that way at that mont.

While I was preoccupied with those thoughts and had my head in the clouds, the elf lady - Elma-san handed a shopping bag filled with clothes. It was thanks to Elma-san that I was finally able to be with Hiro-sama. I was really indebted to Elma-san as well.

And so, I was brought away by Hiro-sama and taken to his ship. I was really surprised. I thought the ship of a rcenary would be more… cramped and stifling. The interior of Hiro-sama’s was wide, clean and looked on par with a 1st Class residence. It was probably even better than the house I forrly lived in.

I took a shower following Hiro-sama’s suggestion. It was a long-awaited shower. After thoroughly cleaning every inch of my body, I finished showering and checked the contents of the shopping bag containing clothes that Elma-san gave .

It’s contents were three pairs of shorts and three sets of clothes. One was thin and looked comfy. Another looked practical and suited for everyday use. And the last one was a sheer, see-through negligee. There was also a bottle containing so sort of liquid substance. There were two pill cases as well. Lastly, there was a small note tucked inside too.

I wonder what these are? When I read the note, it appeared to be a ssage from Elma-san. The liquid in the bottle was apparently perfu. There were instructions on how to use it written as well. I’ve never put on perfu before, so I was thankful for the notes.

The two pill cases contained contraceptives and painkillers so it would feel better when I have my first ti taken by Hiro-sama. I was grateful for this as well, because I heard that the first was usually painful. There was a classmate from school who said her first ti was a failure and that things got awkward between her partner and her afterward.

I sprinkled just the right amount of perfu on . I’ve never used perfu before, so I suddenly felt like I’ve beco more of an adult.

I plucked up so courage and chose to put the thin clothes on. And when I appeared in front of Hiro-sama wearing it, his face reddened and he beca flustered. That’s good. He seems conscious of . I wouldn’t know what I would do if he didn’t have eyes for at all and just treated as a sister or daughter. I was a little relieved.

After eating a delicious al with , Hiro-sama went to the training room to exercise and then went straight to bed.

I watched the timing, drank the dicine, put on the negligee and barged into Hiro-sama’s room. That was the plan, at least. But I couldn’t manage to do it. Fortunately, the door of Hiro-sama’s room was open, so I managed to peek inside while staying in front of his room.

Hiro-sama was just in his underwear. My gaze was drawn to his well-sculpted silhouette. My entire body started feeling hot. The dicine’s effects may have started to kick in.

“What’s wrong? Uh, hold that thought. I’m in my underwear, so let change into sothing decent first.”

My and Hiro-sama’s gazes t, and he started panicking with a bright red face. I boldly stepped inside Hiro-sama’s room while being mostly driven by instinct. There were a lot of sad and painful things that happened to . But now, I’m within Hiro-sama’s arms. Right now, I am truly happy.
