"The Zerg civilization is in the Andromeda Galaxy. It takes half a month to fly there according to the plot speed. But our main purpose this time is to let Stardew see bugs and let you experience interstellar navigation, so we only need to fly for two days. I know
The limit you can endure on the train is two days." Reimei said while feeding me frozen food.
"Well... this is a spaceship, more comfortable than our home. How can you compare it to a train where you can't do anything and the toilet leaks... By the way, did you steal these space foods from the space agency?
"Looking at the national flags of various countries on food packaging, I feel very helpless.
"Of course not, this was obtained through serious trading. The cold fusion engine is exchanged for frozen space food. Is it a good deal?" Lingmei said to me proudly.
"...It's indeed a good deal, no, it can no longer be described as a good deal... We have also done it ourselves, such as exchanging energy for food... No, no, there is no comparison at all, okay..."
"Speaking of which, people in your country are good at eating. There are so many kinds of food in space." Lingmei said while pouring several bags of vegetables together.
"After all, racial talent...don't pour them all together! They will all taste different!" I quickly took an empty plate and put the dishes separately.
"Anyway, the taste will linger in your mouth when you eat it?" Ling Mei looked puzzled.
"Uh, it seems like this?...No, this is not a concept..."
By the way, we are not on the bridge now, but in a special restaurant. I don’t know what Lingmei thinks, but the restaurant on this warmly decorated spaceship is in the style of a battleship. It is surrounded by cold metal walls and ceilings
The kitchen and floor are also made of metal plates. The cooking area on one side of the restaurant is also undisguised, and you can directly see the back hall. The tables and chairs are all one-piece, making it look like a canteen.
"I suddenly remembered, what the hell is the plot speed you just mentioned?"
"Oh, it's the kind of speed in the work where the protagonist is deliberately slow and swaying in order to make the protagonist have an accident halfway." Reimei explained unhurriedly.
"No...that's the necessary sailing time according to the setting of the work..."
"Isn't it intentional that we could have used something like 'one month later' instead, but we had to perform it and then add an unexpected plot?" Ling Mei retorted plausibly.
"Yes... what you said makes sense..." I immediately felt a strong sense of frustration.
"Xinglu, have you eaten?" Lingmei turned to Xinglu and said gently.
"Well, I'm full!" Although Xinglu said this, she still held a can and scooped it up with a spoon.
"Then let's go play with floating cannons!" Lingmei said something incomprehensible with a smile.
"Huh? What?" I looked confused.
"We have arrived at Andromeda, but we are still some distance away from the Zerg civilization circle."
"No, I mean, why do you want us to play?"
"Floating cannons are weapons that are small in size, very powerful, and have an unknown energy supply."
"Why do you want to play this suddenly?"
"Ah, that's because..."
"A battle has been detected in the nearby space, type β, intensity 12, range 0.2, conflict camp 2, camp type, A, humanoid, B, humanoid. It is judged that intervention is needed. Arrive at the battlefield in 60 seconds. All combatants are in place and ready to fight.
"An emotionless and inorganic female voice sounded around. In comparison, Yisi's voice was so emotional.
"Idiot, this is the first thing you complained about?" Yisi's protest made me realize instantly that my focus was wrong.
"Limei? What the hell is this?"
"Shipboard computer."
"That's not what you're talking about! What kind of fighting is this? What are you talking about? Where do the combatants come from?"
"That's us? Everyone, hurry up and get to the maintenance cabin, and start fighting as soon as you arrive at the battlefield." Reimei picked me up and ran away.
"Wait a minute, what's going on?" I didn't understand the situation at all and was confused.
"Stupid boy, this is the unexpected plot you were just talking about!" Sister Aini suddenly appeared and ran with us to some maintenance cabin.
"Sister? Why are you back again?"
"Nonsense! This is your chance to become a machine girl and fight, how can you leave me out!"
"Fight? Fight for what?" My whole body was about to turn into a question mark.
"Stop talking nonsense! Just do it when I tell you to hit whomever you want!" Sister Aini grabbed my other hand, and together with Lingmei, they pulled me into the air.
The maintenance bay is located in... who knows where in the spacecraft. I was dragged over there by them all the way while I was dazed. The cabin is very spacious and very sci-fi. It is exactly like the place where the protagonists use artifacts to fly Gundam in blockbusters. Reimei pushed me into a
Assembly platform, and then stood on the other one.
"The Valkyrie team is in place and assembly has begun." With the sound of the computer, many parts appeared out of thin air around the platform, and many rough-looking manipulators began to install these parts on our knight uniforms.
"Actually, only Xinglu's girly outfit is the orthodox look, and ours may look a bit weird. But I really don't want to abandon my true body, and I don't want to wear the kind of tights that tightly wrap the crotch like a swimsuit, even if our clothes are
There is no feeling in this part of the body." Reimei explained to me who looked confused.
"Xinglu, please follow me and Hongyue later, don't run around by yourself, do you understand?" Yisi told Xinglu in the public channel in his mind.
"Yeah, I understand!" Xinglu made a salute gesture lively.
Well, why doesn’t Xinglu feel uncomfortable wearing this kind of tights? Is it because she has been used to being half-naked for 200 years? Why do I think about this kind of problem! The most important thing is to understand the current situation!
"The assembly of the Valkyrie is complete, the weapon system is being distributed, and the ejection bay door is open." The door at the end of the maintenance bay opened, revealing tracks with flashing lights.
"Ha! You brat, you are really suitable for this kind of dress. Let me give you a kiss!" Sister Aini ran over with starry eyes, hugged me and gave me a kiss.
I tilted my head with a mentally retarded expression on my face, showing no reaction to Sister Aini's behavior.
"Stop being so dazed, look at me, sister, am I handsome?" Sister Aini excitedly spun around in front of me.
Different from Stardew's orthodox machine girl outfit, our mechanical parts are installed on the knight uniform, and places like gloves and boots are not covered for reasons that I am too lazy to explain, so our outfit looks more like a dress.
Female knight in high-tech armor.
"Little Xinglu, this is a floating cannon. It's a very, very fun thing~" Sister Hongyue was saying something to Xinglu.
"Hey kid, it's time to choose a weapon!" Sister Aini slapped me on the head, making me notice a row of various weapons sent down from the roof.
"Sister, what are we doing now? Who are we going to fight?"
"It doesn't matter who you hit, what's important is that you can hit people! Come on, kid, just use this rapid-fire machine cannon. No matter how bad the accuracy is, you can still hit someone!" Sister Aini ignored my question and opened a very large cannon.
A very long weapon with no visible round barrel was thrust into my hand, and I took two of what might have been hand cannons.
"The ejection track has been cleared, and the Valkyrie has entered the ejection position." The computer's voice sounded again, and a light ball appeared in the .asxs of each ejection track.
"Amy, let's go, Aini and I will help you pretend to fly." Lingmei pushed me towards the ejection bay from behind. Because the armor was so large, she was actually pushing my machine girl costume.
After everyone stepped into the light ball on the track, the door of the maintenance cabin was immediately closed, while the front bulkhead opened ejection ports for each corresponding track.
"Ling Mei, I have something to say to you." I turned to look at her expressionlessly.
"Huh? Do you want to say, 'After this battle, go back to your hometown and marry me'? It's a pity, Amy, you can't die now?" Reimei closed one eye and said to me playfully.
.
"No, what I want to say is: What kind of scumbag game is this! The fight starts right after you come up, without even a mission briefing! Where are we, who do we meet, why are we fighting, and who are we fighting!"
I finally broke out and threw out a barrage of questions.
Ling Mei suddenly realized and slapped her forehead: "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to explain it to you. That's it, we were flying and flying, and we encountered a group of interstellar pirates who were robbing us. Although they were not robbing us, we love
Goddess of peace, how can you not draw your sword to help when there is injustice on the road? Oh, mine is a giant sword, but that is not important. In short, we are now the righteous Valkyrie, ready to set out to destroy the evil pirates! Amy
,Do you understand it?"
"Remi, I am the goddess of justice." Knight Ji Sai's voice appeared on the public channel.
"Well, don't worry about the details." Ling Mei waved her hand casually.
"Ling Mei, the universe is so big and we are flying so fast, how can we just meet the robbers?" I asked expressionlessly.
"Well, life is full of surprises. How about this explanation?" Lingmei raised her finger and said to me seriously.
"..., forget it, everything is fine." I lowered my head weakly.
"In order to cooperate with the plot, the contact time has been delayed by 180 seconds. Do you want to enter the battlefield now?" The voice of the shipboard computer sounded again.
Hahaha, what a user-friendly computer this is!
"Enter immediately! Everyone is ready to fight!" Ling Mei pretended to shout.
"We have entered the battlefield, the ejection countdown begins, 1,0, I wish you all good luck."
