The Comatt Prime commercial colony was pretty bustling and prosperous.
Since Comatt III’s terraforming has been completed and full-scale colonization efforts would now be beginning in earnest, Comatt Prime colony will become the main supply and material relay station that would cater to the needs of the colonists. The number of transactions that will take place here would increase more than tenfold compared to when it was just handling the raw ores and refined metals mined within Comatt system, and Comatt Prime’s future expansion plans would also take into account the completion of planet Comatt IV’s terraforming.
“It’s so lively here!”
“Right now, it feels like you can sell off absolutely anything here as long as you have it.”
The demand for supplies such as food and daily necessities for the colonists was currently at its peak. Cargo ships loaded with food, medicine, household goods, building materials, and other goods are constantly entering and exiting the docks of the colony. The goods accumulated here would then be brought to the colony ships that will descend onto Comatt III later on.
“Our first job will be to guard the colony ships as they descend onto the planet huh.”
“I don’t think there would be any idiots who would attack colony ships mid-descent though.”
If a colony ship fails atmospheric reentry mid-descent, there’s a good chance of the supplies and the colonists themselves getting burnt to ashes in the upper atmosphere or crashing headfirst onto the surface and returning to the merciful arms of Buddha. If someone were to attack, they probably just want to put a damper on Earl Dareinwald’s business, but there’s not enough reason to risk doing so otherwise.
Moreover, if they do perform such an act of genocide, House Dareinwald would be the least of their problems. The empire itself would be after their collective throats. Depending on the circumstances, there’s a chance of the entire might of the empire mobilizing to take the perpetrators down in order to capture them. That’s seriously no joke, man.
“Okay, let’s go ahead and meet up with Chris guys.”
“Let’s go, go, go. My stomach’s cravin for some grub already, Boss.”
“Um, sis, you skipped lunch so of course, you’d be hungry……”
“You sure are a little glutton, Tina.”
“It’s not like I’m the only one.”
After retorting, Tina glanced at Mimi. Yeah, it’s no use even if you avert your eyes and pretend not to notice, girl. I wonder if Mimi also purposely skipped her lunch.
“Come on, let’s go, everyone! We can’t let the client wait!”
“Alright, alright……”
The rest of us chased after Mimi and Tina, who started walking at a faster pace and headed for the hotel where we would meet up with Chris.
“Let us toast to the success of the colonization of Comatt III! Cheers!”
“””Cheers!”””
After Chris raised a toast, each of the celebration participants held up their cups and took a swig of their drinks.
“Puhaaah!”
Let’s just ignore the elf and two dwarves who emptied their cups in one gulp and cried out like old drunkards at a pub. By the way, my drink was 100% fruit juice.
I’ll go and get some more food, Hiro-sama!”
“Ooh, me too! Me too!”
“Geez. Can you please just try to behave yourself even a little, big sis?”
Today’s celebration party is an all-you-can-eat buffet, and each of us could stuff ourselves as much as we like. Mimi and the rest rushed to the table as soon as the food was brought out.
“They sure are pumped up.”
“Look who’s talking. You’re already working on your second cup of alcohol y’know.”
Elma completely ignored my words and poured herself a cup of liquor. I thought she poured beer for herself at first like earlier, but it looks like she was now gonna drink some sort of wine.
“Just please don’t get yourself too drunk. Spare me from that, okay.”
“I’m pacing myself properly, so don’t worry.”
Well, since Elma says so, I guess it’ll be fine. She does drink a lot whenever she has the chance, but she rarely gets herself too drunk. Tina causes a mess from time to time though, and Whisker’s the one who cleans up after her.
“But there really are a lot of people here huh.”
“That’s just how many people are involved in this project.”
I’m not sure if everyone at the venue is all involved in the colonization project since they weren’t wearing any nametags and such, but the party venue was virtually packed with people.
