Alrighty, folks. We’re about to plunge straight into a close-range shoot-out right now. Oh, man. I wonder why a guy like me, who owns a high-end starship packing plenty of firepower ended up forced to fight goons in a melee shoot-out? Dammit! It’s all that f***ing stupid noble Balthazar and his retarded suppression ship’s fault. F**k!
『We’re about to make contact, Hiro-sama. The enemy forces are concentrated away from the hangar bay so it should be fine for the most part, but don’t let your guard down.』
“Roger that.”
Well, it’s not like the firepower the enemies are packing will be able to easily breach my power armor’s defenses anyway. My partner’s… er, my custom power armor’s concept is heavy armor and heavy firepower after all.
It’s sporting Class III military-grade armor with extremely high laser tolerance, corrosion resistance, and bullet-proofing. It can also deploy an energy shield to further improve its already impressive defense.
“I will ensure Master’s safety. Please leave everything to me.”
May declared in front of me as she snorted defiantly.
She seemed as cool and calm as usual, but there was a lively and competitive air about her. Yep. Guess she’s really raring to go huh. I understand, so please stop swinging around that power armor-use laser launcher you’re holding like a bat. That’s not how you use that thing, okay.
As for why May has got that power armor-use laser launcher, it’s because she said her new generator can handle its energy requirements with plenty of room to spare. It looks like the generator she has right now is comparable to those used by most high-end power armors. It may even have a higher output.
And so, May is able to use a laser launcher made for power armors without any problems. By the way, she has a power cable sticking out of the back of her waist attached to the laser launcher. It looks like she has a power adaptor there. I can’t really see anything of the sort when we’re in bed together though… How curious.
As I was thinking of such things, the ship lightly shook. It looks like we’ve managed to land.
『Landing successful. Well, since we took the job, we’ll have to do our best, but be sure to take care of yourselves and don’t take any unnecessary risks, okay. Don’t go overboard and get yourselves killed.』
“Aye aye, ma’am.”
『Also, avoid getting cut by the noble-exclusive sword. Dodge it at all costs. Even power armors will be easily cut in two if they take that thing head-on after all.』
“Eh?”
Now just wait a minute! This is the first time I’m hearing this though.
『Oh, and nobles often get cybernetic implants that dramatically increase their information processing capabilities, so be wary of that as well.』
“……Uh, why?”
What’s the deal with getting some information processing upgrades anyway?
『In other words, they’ll have tremendous reaction speeds and will be able to block laser shots with their swords, and even deflect them in some cases.』
“You gotta be kidding me!”
What the–? Block laser shots with a sword? Deflect them, even? Are they J*di knights or something!? There’s such a thing? Oh, man. I have to think of some countermeasures then.
『Their bodies won’t be able to keep up with those increased abilities for long though, so there’s that. Or rather, can’t you do the same? That’s why I thought you were a noble when we first met you know.』
“Huh? I can? Oh……”
Maybe she’s talking about how everything would be in slow motion when I hold my breath? I see. So in their perspective, I was firing laser shots at incredible speeds huh.
“Well, no matter how fast their reaction speeds are, there’s only one guy who has that type of sword, right? At most, they’ll have two. If that’s the case, then there’s no problem.”
As I said so, I readied the weapons I brought with me this time. For this sortie, I brought two splitter laser guns with me, which are renowned for their anti-personnel capabilities among all power armor-use weapons. These babies can fire twelve laser shots with the same power as that emitted by a laser rifle simultaneously. They’re sort of like laser shotguns. Since I got two of them, I can fire off twenty-four laser shots in one go.
Of course, the split-mode of a laser launcher packs more punch since it’s of a higher caliber, but in narrow spaces such as ship corridors, these splitter laser guns will be easier to use. So I brought two of them for maximum coverage.
“Yosh! We’re barging in! Mimi, inform the ship crew so they won’t shoot us on sight by mistake.”
