I spent a while longer listening to their complaints.

After having dinner and taking a bath, I figured there was nothing left to do but get some sleep. I was settling in for the evening when an emergency alarm started blaring.

A typical emergency announcement was then broadcast over loudspeakers.

“Alert! Alert! An unidentified convoy is currently approaching the colony. As they have refused our request for them to provide their hull codes, we have determined them to be pirates or marauders of some kind. All combatants are to scramble immediately. Noncombatants, please evacuate to a safe area and prepare to flee the colony. I repeat...”

I immediately changed back into my piloting gear and headed to my ship. Then, following the control tower’s instructions, I went to intercept the enemy.

Though the fleet sent to attack us was made up entirely of drones and light craft, they were abnormally numerous. I roughly estimated their numbers as being between seven hundred and eight hundred ships.

However, to put it bluntly, though both the colony serving as the party venue and the one serving as accommodation for us were valuable, there was nothing else of value inside them. If one were to disassemble the colonies and sell them for parts, that would take a lot of time. And if someone tried to sell them as they were, they’d be easy to track and very costly to fence.

Therefore, our opponents must have been planning to take the nobles attending the party hostage and demand ransoms for them. And in that case, there was no way we could afford to let them through.

The control tower seemed to understand that much and gave us precise commands. “This is Control! Don’t let even a single ship get through to the colony! Guards inside the colony, secure the entrances!”

We mercs took that as our signal to sortie and intercept the enemy. However, we immediately felt like something wasn’t quite right.

“What’s with these guys?” asked Molieze. “They aren’t putting up any kind of fight!”

“At this rate, I won’t get to show off my skills!” Lebin whined.

The enemy really wasn’t putting up much of a fight. Sure, the ships were attacking, and they pursued us if we evaded them, but their maneuvers were totally lifeless. It was fair to say that the unmanned drones were as you’d expect, but the manned ships were just as lacking in spirit.

That was why Molieze and Lebin—two people who’d been excited at the opportunity to get a workout at first—were starting to complain.

Could it be that the party’s organizers set this up as a spectator event?

Not that we’d put up with something like that...

“What’s the matter? This is a cakewalk,” said Bernard. “And besides, look up ahead. Those two are really getting into it. Just leave it to them.”

Just as he had said, Seira and Rossweisse were tearing up the battlefield right before our eyes.

“Like I keep telling you, Arthur and I are devoted to each other! Yeah, I’m talking to you, all you hussies who keep hanging around him!” screamed Seira.
